*This is another poem/song for my Trilogy. It will probably be the last as the third book is finished except for edits.

I feel the fire burn within me
It purifies and makes me gold
No more frustrations in me
For purest love has taken hold

No more will I go wandering
In search of things I do not know
Here, here at this place of sundering
I surrender to love's flow

I have journeyed through my choices
I have wandered near and far
I have listened to those voices
That will help me find my star

Now into your hands I offer
All I am and even more
I give my sword and ever proffer
all, to this game to win this war.

Though I've traveled on this journey
Sometimes lost but more times found
I will fight for right at tourney
Till I'm lying on the ground

Take this gift of all my sorrow
For I offer it above
Take whatever comes tomorrow
I give it back into your love.

There it has the safest keeping
There it grows and is returned
There the promise found in reaping
Shows me all I've loved and learned

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

And that's sort of what you're doing with the books, right? *S* I just hope some publisher is awake and ready to be bowled over. *S*

I like this very much, Keth... feel free to keep writing them even if the books are finished. *S* There's always room for more music in the world... and excellent poetry. *S*

Kethry what can I say that hasn't been said already. In a poem I usually find one stanza that I prefer. Here they were all so beautiful. Maggie
