MY SOUL? I long for strength; send me ten men or one, a Knight in armour black his sword of honour long and sleek unsheathed and ready at my back. A shadow known to me alone, my heart skips beats, he feels me fall, bold he steps into my soul to make me as I was before. Before I knew how sad the world, how lies, deceit, so cruelly hurts, then to smile and dry my tears and kindly ask what have I learnt. I can’t, I won’t, yet then I must declare belief that evil lives; a poison ivy growing wild in fields of love I try to give. Then my shadow Knight, my guide, says with a smile, “Now you know, that’s all you need - your heart is free, follow where your soul must go.” My soul, my soul? She goes alone - I know the dream that calls her home! HMH |

Thank you, Dee. I don't get here as often as I'd like to - to read and comment and that makes me feel bad. Thanks again! |

Yes, "Ilph", you could be right - indeed, you could be "very" right! Thanks for reading. |
