Trust and Obey

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.”
