Isn't It Time for New Resolutions....

Whenever my heart

wants me to represent

myself through it 

my mind turns combative 

and invites unwanted thoughts

turning my mood sluggish

I often wonder

why should it not 

let me "be" my 'heart'

Why do I have to be 

only my 'mind'

Just like any other combative

interference I  find

my dreams getting killed..

This war between

my heart and mind is often

silently witnessed by my soul

Spurred by its silence

sometimes, oh, sometimes

I do succeed in 

snubbing my mind 

and let my heart come

to the fore to represent me

and those days are never 

heavy or sluggish

They bring speed and joy

which I really cherish...

I know that I will have 

to be stronger

than my mind and heart

to support my soul

Well, then I ask you

isn't it time for new resolutions...

**

Combative hare

and the sluggish tortoise;

life represented
