Sadly death held be prisoner for a long time
Feeding me doom and gloom stories
Forcing my attention away
From the miracle of the present moment
Convincing me life was done
When really it had only just begun
Begins a new each day
Death well sadly I see now
How he stole away my song
Closed my throat up
With locked in tears
That in being held back
Prevented new life and growth
From bursting forward anew
But maybe now
After I have tarried over long
In the kingdom of death
His power over my soul is fading
As now I feel a new life dawning
Light emerging
Reminding me of how
Much more life there is in living
Than dying just a little more
Each and every day
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Yes live now and tomorrow. xx

A wise person once told me to stop worrying about what someone may have done to you, because that person had probably completely forgotten or didn’t really care. So all that was being achieved was wasting your own energy for nothing. But it’s not easy

Gosh that is SO CORRECT. I just ran into someone who I felt ignored by and what I realised is they are just so caught up in their own life it has absolutely nothing to do with me.. It is wise advice.. very wise…

Lovely poem and I loved the way you ended it .. never let anyone take your strength of living another happy day, you managed it yesterday without and you can certainly manage today.

So true. I think it comes down to always being aware of what lifts you up and what pulls you down. Sadness is necessary but not depression which is a state of accepting the unacceptable without knowing about it, taking steps to feel better or fight to be yourself. When we surrender our true soul power we always lose…
