The Darker Side Of Light
©7-2001 by Soaring Heart
Beware the cold icy tentacles of reality
they slither in insidiously,
Freezing all in their path.
the first represents worry,
Which ever so slowly erodes
the things held most precious!
Fantasy is replaced,
with the brutal facts of truth.
The simplest pleasure, is rendered impotent,
As the tentacles stretch and slink into the very soul.
dreams are thwarted at every turn.
as the tentacles weave and emit their poisons,
and what eludes the first, is imprisoned by the second,
Self Doubt, which watches with glee, as it cripples passion...
One by one, these demons enter,
freezing out all in their path.
The third,Fear, is silently working at it's heinous goal,
of entering the spirit, and eating away at confidence,
Not being sated till the spirit is humble, and destroyed..
The forth moves in..Quietly, so as not to be detected.
Distrust.
Perhaps the most feared and rightly so,
as it causes such intense pain
that the beholder screams in silent agony!
And bit by bit, They work their way into every fiber of the being,
till nothing remains, but a shriveled shell,
while faith and hope are conquered..
and destroyed.
And the monsters all, roar with glee..
as they are consumed all the realities of the world.
the soul crawls on it's belly,
arms outstretched,
fingers grasping , bleeding
trying desperately to reach the haven,
the blessed place, the cave
But falls short,
just outside it's safety,
And with eyes filled with tears,
body wracked with loss,
emits a soft final anguished moan,
and dies....

A Tribute To Women
©2001 by Soaring Heart
Remember...You are Special!!!
A unique person, like no other
Get ready to embrace the world!
It is a wondrous place...
Fling your arms open wide!
and absorb all life has to offer...
Keep your eyes toward the stars
and expect a little miracle each day,
and watch it happen...
Expect the best of people.
and more often than not, they will not disappoint you..
Grab the world by the tail
and hang on tight!!
Prepare yourself for a fabulous experience!
For...
You are a woman!
There is no mountain you can't climb...
No obstacle you can not overcome...
No problem that you can't solve...
Each morning, look in the mirror,
and praise yourself!
For you are Lovely...
Intelligent...
Capable...
Loving...
And gracious...
Then put your shoulders back!
Hold your head up high!
Say a little prayer of thanks,
for all that you are...
And all that you are yet to be...
And then.....
Go out an conquer the world!!!!
