Time still to come is like heaven above
but I’m turned now like meat in an oven
to face square on the heat of evil
permeating the air that I breathe.

And to breathe is to feel snakes and lizards,
the fangs of a monster grotesque,
and the slashes and stabs of a devil
wrapped up in crudity and cruelty
that silently spits obscenities
as if I cannot hear.

There’s hatred and vile and dastardly wiles
lying guarded in treacherous eyes
thinking perhaps I’m a witch on a broom
able to see from a vantage point
what happens when I’m not around.

But of punches and blows like lightening bolts
meant to unbalance the wise
evil is not one to know
wisdom is greater and more powerful
than a woman who wants to move out.

Wisdom, you see, cocoons and protects
when chaos erupts all around  
but can it be said it’s a true friend  
when time still to come like a fantasy?

Gosh, I am impressed once again, dear Helen, by the power of your words.

I think wisdom is our best friend in whatever situation, but sometimes the little inner voice suggests to relax and sit in the dark projecting colored fantasies that might help find the way into the light again.

~ "wisdom is greater and more powerful"

"Wisdom, you see, cocoons and protects"

~ and may your innate wisdom keep enable you to  stand strong and to outwit any evil that comes your way.

Powerful words coming from one with such a sweet, innocent face!

Giving you a humongous loving, comforting hug,

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting.  

Evil comes in many forms but I see it and know it is there.  Linda, perhaps "innocence" is what enables a person to see more clearly but like a child it needs a protector.  All I have in that regard is "wisdom" but it's not enough, not nearly enough.

Honey, with your wisdom and with my protective 'wings' wrapped around you, you can ward off evil regardless of the guise it wears.

Love & Protective Light,

Thank you Linda.  With wings I can fly even if they're borrowed.
