TankaTuesday Prompt: A Tanka Puenta
Trust and Obey
thoughts come barging in
“go ahead; it will be fine”
but guilty pleasures
make my spirit ill at ease
although whispers tantalize
~ trust and obey ~
I reign the thoughts in
It will only bring me pain
count is all but loss
He says, “Leave the world behind…
let the dead bury the dead.”

Well done, this presents a strong scenario of temptation 😄
Thank you!
I really liked it. It reminds us, in simple words, that not everything that seems good is actually good for us, and that true peace comes when we choose to do the right thing.
Thank you! And I so agree. Choose the right thing, not just what feels good 😊 thanks for the encouraging comment. Blessings,
Kaci
