 I breathe in slow and deep No longer does my heart weep Gentle peace washes me Showing me all I shall be I traveled through hell and back Saw the things that I lack Satan tried to charm my mind God’s love broke the ties that bind Now I walk in light so bright Not even darkness can bring fright My soul has been purified And my heart has been sanctified The days greet me with a smile That lasts longer than a while Calmness flows through my veins Cleansing me like the sweetest rain My true self begins to slowly emerge All my sins have now been purged Harmony rules the days at last I’ve come to terms with the past It took me quite some time To get to my destined prime Here I am for all to see The true lone wolf inside of me I refuse to try to impress anyone We all get our day in the sun The key is to know the way Heeding what the Lord has to say Those who are truly my friends Will stay beside me knowing no end The rest are just missing out On what I’m really all about My friends see me as I am Precious as the purest lamb They have my love for eternity For that they have done for me Thank you to the ones who know More than just mere words show Without you I would surely be lost My ship would be violently tossed You, my dear, are the best of all Breaking through my inner wall Showing me what lies inside Should never have to fearfully hide With some help I realize My heart is more than a prize It holds a weight of its own Greater than was ever known I kneel giving thanks to God For it is He who holds the rod Pointing out the path I need For my freedom He did bleed He knows me the very best Looking deep inside my chest Healing my broken heart Mending each and every part Thank you Lord for all You do I owe my very life to You For rescuing me from my sin And making me born again artwork: Wolf Howling from: art.com All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 08-12-2001).] |

As I read this, I'm wondering if the "true" you is just coming out, or if it has been out all of the time. And, if it hasn't been out before, why is it coming out now? Very introspective, and a declaration of your newfound freedom. I like it. passion is life. . . ~Diana |

You are a wolf, I was a rose, and yes we sometimes don't let others see the real us. Few people really know me either. Neither one of us would hurt a fly. We are sensitive, strong women who are not perfect but know the Lord and in that, we get through each day the best we can. We write poetry. We are also human with passions and well, that's where the poetry comes in, that's how we know one another, or did. We know one another more because we are friends. True friends. I've never read a mean word from your pen about anything or anyone, sometimes we have to vent, we reach that point where we can't hold it in any longer. Your words are written for you, by you and not for any other reason. Your poetry is fresh, sincere and honest. You don't write for attention, replies or for public acclaim. You write from your heart. If others can't see that, they are missing out. I'm proud to know you and I feel the best is about to be unwrapped. IT's about time. It's about time. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Enjoyed reading words that come from a person who has opened her heart to the Lord. |

Very touching LW, one must be at peace with oneself before one can truly be at peace. I see you're well along that road. I know the path well - have yet to reach it's end. May you reach each dip in stride, each turn fearlessly, each fork courageously. Walk easy, my friend...help is everywhere as even a lone wolf is only as alone as it choses to be. jwesley |

Sis, long time no see ... very strong writing in this one ... it has been amazing to see the changes, not only in your writing but also in your life, you have truly become independent. May God bless you in all you do. Love you Sis |
