The strength and the weakness
Yours is the strength of body.
With those broad hands, you may
take a life or demand your will be met,
with threat.
For yours is the weakness, weakness of mind.
May you live to learn - broad hands can be kind.

Yours is the strength of unbound charm.
In charismatic tones, you may
gather an army, show them the way,
to make the innocent or vulnerable
pay.
For yours is the weakness, an ego blind.
May you live to see your own guiding light.

Yours is the strength of a leader.
With self-conviction, you may
bring the world together in harmony
 or break down those that dare 
to walk free.
For yours is the weakness - need to control
May you live to love, to let go of your hold.

Yours is the strength of spirit.
With grace and dignity, you may
love each weakness, accept each strength,
and still walk
your own way.

Natural Flow
 
Many lifetimes pass in that moment of love or rage.
Recurring ripples rebound
like an ocean caged, age
after age.
 
In betrayal and sin - in bitterness
and forgiveness I have been.
Too many lifetimes lived
in that reverberating scream!
 
Now in strength I recall,
every victory - every fall.
With God I sit and laugh
at it all.
 
:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
 
To feel such anguish and yet
to forgive.
To set the oceans free
to be - to live.
 
To speak in spirit,
keep silence clear.
To abide, realise,
turn the sphere
of fate -to take
responsibility,
though you did me wrong,
my voice,
my life,
my song,
goes on.
