Heart & Mind (Poetry)

The heart is a delicate object, surprisingly fragile,
Strength possessed more than retained by a fist,
Rarely making sense how lies can turn the tide,
I wonder rather not spend too much time wondering why.

The struggles of the heart are all well known,
They have been made clear in so many ways, over so many years. 
Most would refuse being dictated by a emotional instrument,
Still very few practice this belief, control has eluded most.

The battles of the mind, is where character is designed,
How to increase the pace for improved results? 
There is no quick cheat to challenge the mind,
Progression has to be made, day and night.

Does the mind need to adapt and change? 
Quality of life is determined by the quality of thoughts,
Left or right, do not make that mistake,
Indifferent as unbalance either way leads you astray.

The heart or mind? 
Both have a purpose and help your fate,
The wisest of all use every ounce of dynamite,
Synchronise these instruments for maximum results.
