He was a ghost before he spoke the very first time Like trees discarded after Christmas Forgotten until another forgettable season Shelved with ornaments made of his own mind He was another out of time Damaged, yet stronger than he was before And secure in the knowledge That he had survived somehow Pain is just weakness leaving out the door While desiring it, more and more A tree he was, felled by a blow from reality Ancient guardian of nature’s secrets Hardened through seasons of want Caught somewhere between the lines of humanity And fulfillment of prophecy He struggled with thoughts inconceivable Of reconciling the future with the past And infinite possibilities Making all dreams seem believable ‘Til the thoughts became palatable Strength has an everlasting type of appeal That beckons with its righteous hand At same time striking a vengeful blow In the end, all he wanted was to heal But first he had to learn to be healed |

Thy strength of words appeals to mine heart within and shall help heal any and all who read, knowing that the possibility exists for dreams through struggle to have the opportunity to become real, if the desire and want are held close... Wonderful penned words, Sir Knight Lady Ollyne "O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit"...Shakespeare |
