The Voice Within
I heard a gentle voice within
Its politeness stood apart,
It urged me that I listen close
To the pleadings of my heart.
The din around had long stifled
What my fate had in its store,
But the voice inside knew it all
And it knew so ever more.
I chose the wisdom of this world
But ignored the Zen within,
Spent endless years to know this truth
Oh what a grievous sin!
