Many voices
urging choices
decisions, decisions:
distractions by factions –
compelling voices,
hypnotic voices,
bulldozing voices,
muddled voices,
mistaken voices,
sneering  voices,
mesmerizing voices,
tricking voices,
mocking voices:

Trivial choices (which hat shall I wear?)
momentous choices,
wise choices,
thoughtful choices,
informed choices:

not gullible, but fallible –
choose truthful voice
to guide your choice
conclusion, decision –
in faith, with prayer.

All those voices giving us choices and at the end of the day decisions have to be made. Like you say in your poem we have to have faith we make the right choices.

Very relevant for me at the moment Rhiannon. 

Jenny.

You have brilliantly created such a sense of stress, being attacked by others' opinions! This is one of your wonderful pieces, like a musical composition, the pure clear note, at the end

Thank you, Di. It is noteworthy how mesmerising and captivating some voices can be. I think it is said that people listened to Hitler and thought what he was saying wonderful, but couldn't remember afterwards what he had said! Rhiannon
