I will not give in
on those days, when
it would be easier
to give up

I have been down
that road before
it's in the past
I've shut that door
and now

I race to hide the key
because sometimes
I can still hear it calling me
back to that place

I refuse to go
my love I have tried to
give,          and show
but time is wearing me
smooth as stone
and it's time to allow myself
this feel of silk

upon the weathered
the tattered,

yes it's true
that you have worn me well
but my friend, time, always tells
when the soul has been torn
down too thin

and where roads end
and begin, again

on some new highway
in some new day.

I'll try to get there
with a smile on my face
but I refuse to go
back to that place

of past.

The die is cast

I am but a mold
of today, tomorrow
and the past

unwilling to be broken;

shape me.


seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

I love the strength in this, the self-protect thoughts that are often needed to walk through storms safely past the shadowlands.

giving up is the easy way out, and that is just not your style...your strength echoes throughout this enlightening write.  Enjoyed

  Siyi Gentle Spirit in truth though sadly beautiful it is strength that shines through,we woman are much stronger than even we know.As friend,sister,auntie,mother,grandmother we have many faces,many duties,as wife,lover,friend,companion these duties differ,in all we must demand respect the same as we give respect and allow only life itself to mold through each experience gaining wisdom,knowledge,and strength to face each new challenge! Sigi for the sharing,and many blessings for your days!
