HMMMM This put things in a new light.

I thought you were referring to something like, Carl Jung's Inner Voices. The Instinct vs the conscious knowledge of self.

Intuition means paying more attention to our inner voice .....................

Nothing estranges man more from the ground plan of his instincts than his learning capacity, which turns out to be a genuine drive toward progressive transformations of human modes of behavior. It, more than anything else, is responsible for the altered conditions of our existence and the need for new adaptations which civilization brings. It is also the source of numerous psychic disturbances and difficulties occasioned by man's progressive alienation from his instinctual foundation, i.e., by his uprootedness and identification with his conscious knowledge of himself, by his concern with consciousness at the expense of the unconscious. The result is that modern man can know himself only in so far as he can become conscious of himself. ..............................

This task is so exacting and its fulfillment so advantageous, that he forgets himself in the process, losing sight of his instinctual nature and putting his own conception of himself in place of his real being. In this way he slips imperceptibly into a purely conceptual world where the products of his conscious activity progressively replace reality. ......................

Separation from his instinctual nature inevitably plunges civilized man into the conflict between conscious and unconscious, spirit and nature, knowledge and faith ... In contrast to the subjectivism of the conscious mind, the unconscious is objective, manifesting itself mainly in the form of contrary feelings, fantasies, emotions, impulses and dreams, none of which one makes oneself, but which come upon one objectively ... The religious person, so far as one can judge, stands directly under the influence of the reaction from the unconscious.....

(Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self)

Try googling Sensible Amelia

Sensible Amelia, a short, simple poem about renewal and rebirth by Benjamin Dean– from the book "Nothing Exists"
www.pagencepress.com/neb/nebne45.shtml

But I guess you would know more about what the poem is about then who ever wrote that comment LOL, Or then what I got from it.
But that's the thing about poems, we each take our own meaning from a poem, especially short, (seemingly) simple poems. Do we not?
So is the poem about about renewal and rebirth as well ?

You write lovely poems. I love this one.

No Beating the Heart

why do you suppose
that every understanding
prior to a real understanding
feels like something
to impose on others?

So does real understanding mean that there in no desire to impose that understanding on others?

The man I got my cat from named her Sensi. He said it means teacher and that it is short for sensimilla.
You would like likely have guessed the double entendre. But slow witted me needed it explained.
