I will not give in on those days, when it would be easier to give up I have been down that road before it's in the past I've shut that door and now I race to hide the key because sometimes I can still hear it calling me back to that place I refuse to go my love I have tried to give, and show but time is wearing me smooth as stone and it's time to allow myself this feel of silk upon the weathered the tattered, yes it's true that you have worn me well but my friend, time, always tells when the soul has been torn down too thin and where roads end and begin, again on some new highway in some new day. I'll try to get there with a smile on my face but I refuse to go back to that place of past. The die is cast I am but a mold of today, tomorrow and the past unwilling to be broken; shape me. seek the flame within yourself and let your soul be cleansed by the fire of love.

I love the strength in this, the self-protect thoughts that are often needed to walk through storms safely past the shadowlands. |

The die is cast I am but a mold of today, tomorrow and the past unwilling to be broken; shape me. Siyi Gentle Spirit in truth though sadly beautiful it is strength that shines through,we woman are much stronger than even we know.As friend,sister,auntie,mother,grandmother we have many faces,many duties,as wife,lover,friend,companion these duties differ,in all we must demand respect the same as we give respect and allow only life itself to mold through each experience gaining wisdom,knowledge,and strength to face each new challenge! Sigi for the sharing,and many blessings for your days!
