Soul Adviser

Do you see through those shrouded mists of time
Can you tell when to stop, where to draw the line
The world spins ever on revolving in time and space
Within the great scheme of things it knows its place
And you if you look deep and long into your heart
You too will find where you end and where you start
This isn't mystical, it isn't even that deep a mystery
This is the circle of life it flows on and on constantly

If your soul is feeling out of place, bereft and adrift
Look within yourself and close the chasm, seal the rift
Your soul is your anchor if she is alone and quite lost
Your heart will wither just like the rose in the icy frost
Reconnect yourself within, plug into the power there
In your heart you will find love with enough to spare
You have the power it is held there in your hands
And there it stays it just gets burried in times sands

The ability to seek your own destiny is a part of you
And weathering the winds of fortune that's a part too
If you give up on yourself when life drags you on down
You are failing yourself and letting your heart drown
There is a power within each of us its called love
A gift of awesome majesty from HIM our lord above
He gave us wisdom and the chance to find our way
And the light of HIS love to brighten our dreary day

Whenever you feel the pain is getting to be too much
Pause for an instant and feel the power of loves touch
Breathe in the wonder of the air and renew your soul
Taking the time to think and stop can make you whole
It is your choice to make the best and let in the light
As it is to deny its comfort and cling onto the night
For your life and your love are what make you be you
And for you to grow and blossom you need to be true


Marsha

That's the most uplifting poem I've read in a long time.  Thank you very much.  The message rings true.

"If you give up on yourself when life drags you on down.  You are failing yourself and letting your heart drown"

Wonderful.  Thank you so much for the read.

Dawn Eclipse, thank you so very muchly, it was my soul's mentors, who inspired this one. (They know whom they are, Kari, Kethry and the Sisters of the Phoenix, and that includes a couple of honorary women) I'm English love I'm sure we're all more than a little odd. Thank you truly.

Take care
                  Marsha
                      
Circe love, you are far too kind, you truly are. Thank you so very much. But this new tighter style is far more to do with the coaching I've been given that any trace of talent on my part.
Take care love

Kit love, thank you truly, it's my mentors that deserve the praise. (But I don't like to say it too loudly because she gets frightfully superior! And as for the rest of them I'll never get them to behave they will all be cock a hoop. Anyway I thank you, and I admit thay have had to put up with my learning curves somewhat.
Take care love

Jwesley love, hi Jimmy, thank you very muchly, I think if I've learnt anything it's that you are always the master or mistress of your own fate. Things don't happen because fate doesn't like you, or you're unlucky, they happen just because. The wise soul stands up says this happened, and learns from it, and the foolish one blames fate. Thank you, I almost think that I might be gathering some sagacious advice.
Take care
               Mushy
                  
Nate Dogg, thank you very very muchly. And peace and love to you too.
Take care

Kari love, and what do you call it dear heart, talent overspill? For you maybe, it's talent, for me it's endeavour, a k a work. Aren't I getting a rest tomorrow? Tsk tsk, it's Sunday you know? I should be resting, actually I'm working, but that means resting dear heart. I'm there, am I not? What more do they want? Sweat from my brow? Good Grief, surely not.

So I'll be hiding somewhere inaccesible tomorrow then, it's because I said watch out for your B'day this year isn't it, I know, the time of retribution is upon me.
in the case, damm 'Whither away gentle sprite, and instead it's

'with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes, and make her full of hateful fantisies.'

Watch out for Bottom the weaver dear heart.
Someone might put an Asses head on him  

Take care love, Watch out behind you for that knavish Puck.
