PASSAGES

There is a whisper of something in the air...

a hint of love from a time long lost

There is a great price to pay...

but truth is the noblest of a cost...

Love comes through from many lives into this one,

it wraps around your soul.

It comes from somewhere deep within,

not mixed in the alchemist's bowl..

Looking within the memories’ well

At the life line leading into the dark

Feelings are energy …

Energy is a pathway…

Follow the feeling into the murky pool

When you tug on one tiny gossamer thread

of a feeling that originates in the past,

the surface disturbed offers a return of emotion,

images dance and the words then come.

Ages ago lost, this love was born,

through time tempered with tragedy,

tiny traces left in time, filters through the heart today.

There was tragedy too

I will not step into those webs of chaos

I shall dance upon the threads of evil so they may not catch.

The memories of tragedies scattered

like shells upon the beach…

The ebb and flow of hope

slowly returning them to the depths of the sea.

I laugh in the face of those who lie in wait

Waiting for one chance to steal the dreams

that live to breathe life

Yes...

I, like you, can step into what we've lived through

from all of our life times...

I remember things we fought for and died for

Stepping into those part way… inspires a feeling

I have done battle with the best of them.

I have wielded forces also more powerful than a sword

and the might of muscle and sinew.

I remember although I am not proud of it.

Although it was evil…

I have destroyed.
