I remember this challenge. I think it is good to do it again once in a while and compare it with the first ones written.  It gives a chance to see how much has changed. Here goes.....


I am driven and passionate.
I wonder how others deal with intricate boundaries.
I hear the night singing to me.
I see fairies dusting the landscape.
I want to roam free without consequence.
I am driven and passionate.

I pretend that I am a spellcaster.
I feel like a fairie dusting the landscape.
I touch the hearts of would be lovers.
I worry that my heart settled too soon.
I cry for all the pieces left behind.
I am driven and passionate.

I understand that I can only have one.
I say soulmates don't always marry or love.
I dream of overcoming my past.
I try to supress myself in shyness.
I hope that one day I won't have to anymore.
I am driven and passionate




Can I be your willful breeze,
Come to touch,
Your heart to ease?

this is very revealing and honest...
also very sincere ...written with the wisdom that comes from learning as we go...usually from our mistakes ...
I see so many mirrors in this ...
challenge very well done
take care

Am I loved by my words
Will my vows weather the tide
Bended knees can forsee
all the rhythms of life
And a heart can be held without pride

Temptress,
Very well articulated.

"I want to roam free without consequence.
I am driven and passionate."


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
