Decisions

Of these things we know as rights and wrongs that surround us in our lives...
we know the nobler choices we should make
and yet...
there are those things that tug at us and call our name;
beseeching us to come forget the blacks and whites of life.
It should cause no turmoil to our soul for we know what we ought do....
and, yet....
'Tis for loss or longing that we even consider those that we should not do ? And so we even think of excuses to justify our choices
that they should appear to us, and others, as right;
or, at very least, understandable.
But there, in the back of our mind, remains the question
of "the price to be paid" for such decisions.
Could we live with the punishment that is sure to come ?
And what of conscience ?
Shall it forever torment us for that for which we have done ?
Is this what we take with us when we depart then ?
An endless list of rights and wrongs ?
A moment or two when we chose correctly
and other times when we thought of self alone ?
How to reconcile and balance the scales, as it were....
And wherein lies our future with the decisions of today ?
Shall we be hated and scorned or thought only scandalous or eccentric ? Wherefore do we find our final decision that we can live with
and move on proudly and contentedly ?
Decisions must be made....
