Blooded into Battle

Each emotion there like a knife, as it wounded

Each thought of negativity I felt

Dense energy was invading me- 

still I refused to yield....

On an invisible battle field

My first battle I stood-

True test of character, courage and light

I felt the darkness before me

I burnt hot, sweat trickled

in the cool afternoon before night.

I still 'felt', I still had 'fire'.

The odds were set against me

I took many blows, yet still I stood.

I breathed in deeply, fear was nigh.

I prayed for this to be over,

for my courage to be able to continue...

I felt each blow like a punch inside

Finally, it was over- with much to learn..

I limped from my confrontation with darkness

Still alive...

 but shaken to the core.

It's time to let go once again......

Time to prepare-

for the next 'invisible' battle.

Determined to learn from my lesson

Give me strength to let go and just 'be'

I surrender to love...

I let go of my fears.......

 Fill me with healing energy.
