Life's Balance Sheet

When the mind with numbers grappled The heart with thoughts dabbled When the eyes on the ledgers are fixed The soul with different hues mixed To keep the different personas From trespassing I strive hard When one dominates the other The other retards The heart disobeys the mind The mind reproves the heart The tug of war continues The form bearing the wrath At last the form too rebels Expressing in its own way This story is not new Has spared only a few Some say follow the mind Some say follow the heart But is not the mind incomplete Without the company of the heart One signifies necessity The other desire To strike a balance between the two Lies the success of the affair
