It is my fate to be in between Heaven and Earth,
When we resist our fate, we suffer,
When we accept it we are happy,
Our soul is somewhat tougher.

We have time in abundance,
An eternity to repeat mistakes and/or repent,
But, we need only once to correct a mistake,
Then at last we hear the song of true enlightenment.

That breaks the chain of pain forever,
In your heart can you hear it now?
It is the song your spirit has sung since your birth,
Nuture that voice, that spirit, that song.

Nothing happens without cause,
The gift of suffering brings us closer to God,
It teaches us to be strong when we are weak,
To be brave when we are afraid.

It teaches us to be wise in the mystical fusion,
And to let go of that which we can no longer hold,
Lasting victories are won in the heart,
Not found within a pot of Gold.

I accept my place between Heaven and Earth,
Therefore I am finally happy,
I see the chosen path laid before me,
My spirit is finally set free.

*NAMASTE*

BRAVO ISIS!!!!!

Do you know how long it takes most people to realize what you have found in this poem?  Sometimes, a lifetime, sometimes never. . .

Accepting who we are is the hardest thing that we can do, we are accpting that we are not perfect and that we do have faults, but that we are willing to live with them. . .

Excellent and powerful poem my friend. . .

This piece is very true and I agree with Sven it does take alot of us nearly a lifetime to ever understand this let alone realize it.
You have done well and I applaud you

Thanks Sven and Tracie, It took me a lifetime or at the very least two years of soul searching to reach this point!!  And I am glad to have some answers

To see the path is good.
To be happy on it is better.
love you kid.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
