The demons, the draggin's
those suckers of life
that pull me under
and bury me
in a world asunder
The thieves that
that rob and plunder
my content
and calm
Met face to face
with fortitude
a kick ass
attitude
My Goddess
unchained
unleashed
at last
Summoned somehow
Perhaps my whistling
through that last straw
struck a magical note
Created a harmony
deep inside of me
that kept me free
from the devil's undertow

Good morning, Lori, I see you are an early riser also. Good on you for this poem. I was wondering when the Goddess would come back into your writing. She and you are a good team.

Well done, Goddess Lori! We should never allow the "demons" to weaken us, but you are right they have that provoking attitude ... but a direct gaze into their mean eyes will disintegrate them, parola di dea! (says the goddess!

Brava!
