Goddess of dark, Goddess of light Give ear to my call I who dwell in your sight Mother of all Giver of light Raise me up, let me not fall. Daughter of mystery, Soverign of the Spirit Hear my prayer this night Help me not to fear it. Embodiment of light You who dwell so near it Help me now in my fight. Lady of heaven, Giver of love Fill me with your power Sent from above Hear me this hour Fill me with your love As I climb life's tower. I call now on your true name Great Isis Mistress of the sea Our help in times of crisis Send your warmth and love to me Cleanse me of my vices And set my spirit free. ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Definitely a beautiful tribute. Exellent work. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

You do have a wonderfully romantic and passionate way of expressing yourself... and it's nice to know that our 'down under' friend is appreciated around here... She deserves it for sure... |

Thank you all my friends. . . your words have indeed made my day! I do not have enough lines to thank you all individually, but there are a few. pFF--You mean I don't already? And yes, I do know the way to the heart. . . whiskey--Thank you for your words, I am indeed humbled. cougaryouth--I only write from the heart, if you do the same, your words will shine. Nan--My words reflect my life my friend. . . Isis--I am so happy to count you as my friend and my kindred spirit. . . thank you for all you've done, and I only hope that I have done the same --------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
