I listen close, to hear my heart. (Poem)

I listen close, to hear my heart,

But silence is its only art.

No whispers help me find my way,

So I follow logic day by day.

My mind speaks with a measured tone,

With reason sharp, it leads alone.

It draws the lines, it knows the way,

And rules are rules, it won’t betray.

But if one day my heart should speak,

A single word, a sudden peak,

I’d shatter walls, I’d break the chain,

And follow where it pulls — without delay.

For though my mind may rule the day,

My heart will always have its say
