WORDS TO THE WISE

We have dismantled order
by believing in hyperbole.
A nation of skeptics,
we dare anything to be true.

The man who says "Prove it"
has given up on mystery.
Mind is a marvelous tool
but fails as a master.
The heart guides by intuition.
Mind's logic scoffs, refusing
to follow, belittling, belligerent
and condescending.

As friends, they're a formidable duo.
As enemies, they're a plague against
the self. Any decision made without
consulting both is a poor one at best,
prone to unraveling.

Keep your mind sharp and your heart soft,
and your body will be undyingly grateful.

Me and Doo and the little heater. Soft and sweet and cozy
