Let the Soul Lead

Driving to work 
I had to dodge 
a plastic pool that it was left 
on the side of the road

My Mind, said:
Don’t worry 
Some else will move it
You will be late for work 

My Soul, said:
Somebody may have an accident 
Don’t ignored, Go back.
Who cares if you are late for work? 

After a few blocks 
Of debating who to listen to 
I made a U turn 
The Soul has won. 
 
My heart was pumping very fast
My hands were sweating
Perhaps, some kind of adrenaline
And excitement in the Body. 

I got out the car. 
The Mind, said:
At least grabbed the keys
(She worries a lot)

I moved the pool,
Out of the road.
I felt Joy somehow.
It was the right thing to do.
 
Listening to the Soul 
Always feeling so good. 
I should let her lead 
More often. Ha-ha
