Freeing Soul

What words,
   ~ gone ~
in putting aside
the reticent voices
that have beleaguered my soul
these long,
lost, years

was there wisdom in
that voice, that whisper
of passion now lost to
the winds of time?

What ear or eye
missed
the spark of light
that was never fully
kindled to awake ~

Morpheus ignored me often
in an attempt to lead me to
my destiny ~
in fear I held back
but in age, now forge ahead

what to fear?

What can one say to me that
has not been said before,
and still I stand

if I please you not,
then perhaps it is I who
has not been satisfied by you…

two sides to every
stroke
of the pen

and no white
without the black to
ponder upon

No Socrates, I ~
but a being who reaches out
in desire
of one thing to ever last

that being the whisper of a soul
who might roam
far into tomorrow

to give voice to yet one more who
would whisper
in the darkness

what to fear?

Only self.

Begone, self…
the soul must fly…

There is no teacher like experience....we do reach a point where there is little to fear since we have indeed heard it all....it is a release..

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Lady this is lovely and full of wisdom
I enjoyed the flow of this, and the repetative use of whisper.
way cool write...
well done poetess of white  

Did you make it to the Milky Way,
see the lights faded
that heaven is overrated
Did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

LP...indeed, no bold required....thank you...

Balladeer, I take it you would agree, then, that we all learn something new every day....and when we don't, it's time to hang it up....me, I'm on the course of ever-learning, and ever-searching...

Saunni, then I shall agree with your agree....

JanetMarie, I, too, am one with whisperings....thank you....

Gentle Spirit, I so enjoy your writing, thank you very much for looking in on mine...

Mr. Yeats, to learn faster, use our learning wiser, and know more sooner than later...that would be wonderful...thank you!

Truly spoken.

whispers in darkness
not in hiding, but boldly
speaking those lost words

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
