The sword hangs above –
Mantel – put safely away,
But eyes caress it
Palms itch its hilt to hold, grasp
Power the blade promises.
/////////////////////////////////////////
Right or Wrong, we can
Become who we mean to be
If we follow dreams
Which take us, loving, beyond –
Familiar habitations.
/////////////////////////////////////////
Writing the wishes
No magic ever renders
For humans are free
Souls crave every destiny,
Love guiding all that will be.
