desires and feelings
actions of the will

A tender sapling -- delicate, frail
  without support will often fail
Tied to a stake, it has a chance
  to grow up straight, to firm its stance...

Yes, I had you told
My fridge would be sold:
Now tired, quite old 
Few times got things cold 
My hands I can fold
And stark grudges hold
Against Machines, old
Fridge that won't blocks mold...

Mine is a tongue bold
I oftentimes rolled 
To bad Old Fridge Scold....

Sound
of an
inner voice
though still - echoes 
deep, popping up from inner vault of soul;
A sense of scruples inhibiting our
thoughts and actions
