i hear the voices in my head
never listening to what they’ve said
for while they ring of truth and right
they leave me cold in the night
to be held close in love and light
is all I want with all my might
that part of me that seeks to reason
i leave to ponder in life's seasons
i choose instead my heart’s own sounds
never listening to what they’ve said
for while they ring of truth and right
they leave me cold in the night
to be held close in love and light
is all I want with all my might
that part of me that seeks to reason
i leave to ponder in life's seasons
i choose instead my heart’s own sounds
as with their warmth they me surround
and so my heart rules ‘oer my head
i’ll live by love when all is said
and so my heart rules ‘oer my head
i’ll live by love when all is said
i'll live by love

Well written, oh so well written, dear Jenean. Dangerous, but so well said... :-)
Roger
and true for me, roger - true for me - my heart is my steadfast compass - as always, your words mean a lot and i thank you! ;)
That has such a nice flow to it!
Let they heart lead on. What harm does love do?
Such beautiful Leo words, spoken as always, fro the heart. The Leo's heart is limitless.
it does have a kind of rhythm, doesn't it, alex! great to have you come by - you are certainly rockin' over at your place lately!
yes, let the heart lead, butternut!
thanks, trish - the voices in my heart - those are the one i heed!
There has never been a more lovely emotion by which to live, Jenean. And who ever renders it as beautifully as you do? You are a woman after your own heart, and your words always ring so true in mine.
So lovely to be back reading your beautiful words, Jenean!
Nevine
and so wonderful to have you here once more, nevine! such kindred spirits that we are, your absences are always deeply felt - and as always, your words deeply felt, as well!
a part of me always wants to reason...I am slowly learning to live by love and listen to my heart. Thanks for sharing this
a life lesson well worth learning, for sure - i've never been disappointed when listening to my heart - my reasoning, a different story! ;)
"And will be your hope
When you feel like it's over
And will pick you up
When your whole world shatters
...
You'll look up and see, Love has a face.."
hugs to you my beautiful friend,never change!xoxox
oh, dear lady spider - so wonderful to have you come by - your absence is always felt - your presence always so welcome! and you're right - there is the hope that comes with love in the heart - many hugs!
There is a line from a wonderful song from a Broadway show called "Plain & Fancy"...(Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick:
"......The Heart has reasons the mind cannot know...."...This is so true, as is your lovely Poem....
Thanks for all your kind and caring words during my absence....Illness can really put you down, down, down.....!
hello naomi! so wonderful to have you up and about over this way - and so kind to leave such nice words - 'tis true that the heart often has reasons the mind cannot know - at least in my own case - again, great to see you and i thank you for coming by - feel all better every day - hugs
I was wrong...PLAIN & FANCY is by Arnold Horwitt and Albert Hague...
The complete thought of the line is:
".....The Heart Has Reasons The Mind Cannot Know, So, Follow Your Heart Wherever It Wants You To Go...."
Indeed!
thanks, naomi! and the words ring so true - but the trail of the heart can sometimes be very treacherous - and lonely - sometimes - but one must still to it be true!
