MORAL COMPASS
When does it's presence take the stage, what is the beginning to set the gauge
Where does the needle find it's direction,will magnetism or a magnet bring the unseen guidance
Finding the way or a guiding light, day after day to make our plight,writing a book page by page
More than a map or general guide ,when called upon from within it will enlighten
is it irony of the needle pointing north & so many looking up ,is there a gain in it's weight as we age
Trusting children showing elders what they may have lost,we're caught looking down for our days to brighten
Playing a game of comparisons, but some may find nothing or no one to relate
Simply an instrument a device to measure, whether to take the high or low ground
it may take the shock of reality to truly frighten
Is there haste when we make chaste or is it taken from lessons learned as we debate
Trust sounds easy but a rare find given & received by the scrupulous and over time it will heighten
Many may never notice which direction their own needle points or how it will all equate
So we spin the dial hope it comes back to true north as we go forth ,our best hope we will hold it all in it's circumference. R.C.
