Song of the Soul...

 
Life is a journey, defined by time,
guided by fate but controlled by you.
The story in our minds eye is a fantasy.
That fantasy sees us as the hero,
meeting all challenges and
slaying many dragons.

But life isn’t fantasy and fate isn’t friendly.
Some dragons are bigger than others,
their breaths of fire burn the options and melt
the dreams you thought were certain, leaving you
with only uncertainty. The fire blinds you
to what you know and to any path of escape.

When all seems lost is when you hear
the song of the soul. It sings only when
it is threatened with destruction. It’s song
reminds us when all seems hopeless
we have a song with a message to
keep singing our own song. Eventually
the world will listen, your eyes will open
and the new and brighter world will appear.
