There comes a time to swim to the shore....

You walked lightly

You walked lightly into my life...Captivating and lovely to my mind,

At first, I never cared who you were...Now I don’t know who I am without you,

You kissed me...I felt my world change,

You held me...I heard my heart awaken,

You loved me...And my soul was born anew

You walked lightly Into my life...Now my heart knows who you are

And with every breath, and every step...I take down lonely roads,

Your hand is my staff...Your voice is my guide,

Your strength my shelter...You’re passion my awakening

You walked lightly into my life,

And all my pain, You took as your own,

All my fears,You cast into the sea,

All my doubt, Lost in your eyes,

You walked lightly into my life

And no matter if you choose to stay or go,

My life is forever changed...

Just because you loved me...For a moment In time.

And because I choose To love you...For the rest of mine.

 

Tracey Newson, May 2004

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be, For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have winced but not cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance, My head is bloodied but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the horror of the shade. And yet the menace of the years, Finds, and shall find me, unafraid It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. "Invictus," by William Earnest Henley

There comes a time in our lives, that the only thing you want is someone to listen, with out saying anything in return. Leave your laments with me, and other's to see, anyway you wish to say it....poetry....a song....voice, the choice, as always in life, is yours!

  

 Child of Grace

She was a child of grace

Surrounded by the worst of men,

A tender heart, with much to give

And a spirit locked in chains;

I see her sitting, lost and cold

Her face so filled with shame,

How I wish I could have held her

Saved her from the pain;

I watched her walk her forlorn path

Burdens too heavy for her to share,

Beaten down, and all alone

A sight too painful to bear:

I turn away with a sorrow,

Take one last look, and say goodbye,

A single tear runs down my cheek

I leave the girl behind;

Though many years have passed me by

I remember what I saw,

That little girl, with bright green eyes

A beautiful, empty shell;

I take her with me always

She is my strength through trying times,

But I know she turned out just fine

In fact I know and love her more today;

She walks with grace and dignity

A flame that lights the night,

Her heart now healed, her spirit free;

I know, because that girl was me.

I have studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me~
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me, and I shrank from it's disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire~
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.......
