There is a youthful spirit inside this ancient shell Crying for release from the guardians watch The iron has softened And the water has quenched the thirst of this parched existence Languor has wreastled it’s way through muscle and sinew Hunched a once strong and powerful being To this form before you now But the Spirit is as vital and powerful as ever And will be reborn anew as surely As the pheonix rises from the flame Celebrate in the newness that awaits For I shall rise upon fresh wings To soar through the heavens And to you I relinquish guardianship SLR 5-17-00 Words are my medicine. Read and live and love and heal! |

Kit, Thank you, though the words are not coming as easily at the present time, when they do come they are very powerful. Marge, I'm so glad you enjoyed this...I was in the middle of a project and the words just started flowing......when it was finished and i reread it I just thought......wow........did I write that? Words are my medicine. Read and live and love and heal! |
