Northstar

Every foul thought or 
wicked intention 
is a stinger to the soul
an infection in the mind
a bruising of the heart...
poking holes in the lifeboat of life.

Every good thought
or golden intention
is balm to the soul
a feather in the mind
buoying the heart..
a Northstar above the lifeboat of life

That's wonderful! It's reminds me of the forever conflict between ID, Ego and Superego. Indeed how each act of goodness brings self fulfilment is beyond words! Thanks for this wonderful piece!
