Gate's Of The Spirit

I heard thunder rumble from the edge of the dark horizon
While in the distance lightening flared
Then a perfect silence turned time backwards
As I breathed in the sweetest air

Such unexplained feelings for which I have no words
Suddenly echoed through my locked in heart
A longing for something that left me defenseless
With absolutely no route of escape to embark

An uncontrolled fire emerged as if from my fingertips
Leaving my spirit open with no place to hide
Yearning for a satisfaction I have never known
While melting away all of my pride

A love as pure as untouched spring water
Mysteriously and deeply ruled by the fates
Had broken the chains wound around my heart
And flooded into my spirit's own gates

I like the fire that exposes the spirit leaving no place to hide for there is no darkness, no secrets and we are forced to face ourselves. In that is freedom like no other. Once exposed we can be who we really are without fear or hiding. Thus the power of love, loving and being loved. Great write.

Yes only Love can break the chains around the heart. But who chained it in first place?

Nice job. Passion is a flame, is it not?

inspirational piece Neva...the spirit at times can be shadowed into a cage and then with the unexplained it is freed into the reality...we are spiritual beings within a realm of physical capabilities grasping the wisdom to become liberated Souls...an exceptional expression of thought...

so mysterious and beautiful; something so intangible but we feel its pull...
