To Will It? Poem by Mary Mc Creath

To do what
Mind and
Heart
Desire
It needs a will that's free
To choose and
Not to fear,
To lose.

Without
The will
The heart and mind
Can only dream and
Never find.

A will that's free.
Can just ignore
All that the
Heart and mind
Explore.

Without the will
To act upon,
What is desired?
Or thought
Can come to nought.

So tell me how can
You find the
Will to choose?

When it is silent
And sleeps
And hides beneath
Beneath what
Heart and
Mind
Desire

How?
What can wake,
The will to act and choose?
But not to fear
the losing in the choosing?
