Old Soul I Await Your Answer I beseech you old soul tell me in which way to walk for I have lost my bearing’s and fortitude. I possessed strength upon will during my youth, and maintained precious ground through adult challenge. But even though I have grown in wisdom I have lost strength in heart to survive this days trials and strife. Please old soul give of your wisdom, teach this forsaken flesh the way through its trials and errors. My heart has taken possession of me, and will not loosen its grip. To over ride its power is to no avail. To bring these pangs of distress to there end I must find the answers. To save myself, but destroy others in the process this is my dilemma. Please old soul hear my begging look my direction and give that in which you are known, the knowledge to conquer the hearts pull, please show me your wisdom I await your spoken word. By, Cerenity |

I saw an sign the other day that reminds me of the the one who I call "Old Soul" I think it is the same as yours......the sign read " IF you are not as close to GOD as you were before......Guess who moved." Lovely moving peice.....thanks for sharing A man does not love a woman because she is beautiful...But she is beautiful because he loves her. |

This is very well written but beyond that it echos my thoughts very often...a romantic often forgets until you're holding broken heart in hand that it's often better to lead with your soul and mind rather than your heart. Awesome job and thank you so much for sharing this. Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |

Cerenity, Dear, You have touched me yet again! I often have to ask for guidance from the "old soul" as well. But worry not. Just when things get their worst, then there is no where to go but up!

Cerenity, What a lovely poem! I too know how it feels to be crushed under that mountain (--). But luckily, when you have friends like the ones I have found here, you can always dig your way out quickly and carry on. Trust Instinct. Instinct will keep an animal alive, but Logic can kill a man.

Cerenity, I feel your words within my soul, and wish the same wishes. Oh, that we could have power over the "heart's pull"(excellent words). There would be a lot less broken hearts in the world. Great poem. Warmhrt the poet's pen...gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name ~ Shakespeare |

Definitely a powerful piece. I have often been called an old soul myself..and I believe I am. Exellent work, Cerenity, I enjoyed this a lot. *Krista Knutson* "Lonliness is the human condition." *Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"* |
