“CONSCIOUS CONSCIENCE”

CONSCIOUS CONSCIENCE

Whispering in my conscience, faithful fiend to me

Discerns deceptions frock so false,,  truth’s narrow systole

Chief counsel companion, divine design to mind

Speaks infinite wisdom, forewarns falsehood blind

Delicate voice of stillness, small soul’s construction

Sound silenced by worldliness, confused instruction

Wise witness warn signals,steady honor in honesty

Stay, my just minister, disguise not to me

Teach my days truthfulness, sear my soul with no pretense

Benevolent benefactor best, be conscious, my conscience

Poem by Imelda Dickinson
