Listening and Speaking

Temptation whispers sweet promises
with the cost of a simple lie.

Her seductive voice speaks softly -
“Say it and all will be yours.”
For a brief moment, my mind
wants to follow her siren’s song.

My heart’s voice -
cries out “No!”
inside this mortal shell.

The Holy Spirit shines its light,
exposing the sin into my eyes.
The conscience cries out for mercy;
an inner turmoil shakes my soul.

Her cold whispers cease their murmur;
while God’s love comforts me once more.
