Roar

douse the light ?
rid the fire that burns from within?

my friend, I am but a warrior 
this flame will never burn down

just as you are inherently weak
I have fighting viking spirit
coursing through my now 

simmer down to passivity?

come my friend life is to short 
to curb natural instincts, only to
pave the way 
and suffer the fool 

there is no scream if
you can roar 

be thankful
I roar for you

The hidden strength that acts before it could ever speak
It roars for life
for being

I have a cat that I should read this to, he would identify with it perfectly.

It's a good message with a unique written delivery. Most people won't, or aren't capable of, internalizing this message. It's much harder to live this way but you live a lot more with the time you have... but you have to do it every day. Kinda like meditation. Meditation isn't very useful if you just do it once, but if you make a habit out of doing it at least once a day it's wonderful. Anyone can get inspired in a moment and do amazing things, but not everyone can maintain that inspiration over a lifetime. meow

I love your msg becuz of the way you are accepting of those who are weak & you aren't condemning their weakness, but rather, trying a little bit to inspire, but also offering to roar on someone else's behalf. I've said this many times: I am not the one to be roaring, but I am very thankful there are many "out there" roaring about all the unfairness & other crap going on. My fighting days are over, but I delight in seeing new generations fighting more intelligently than we did. Love your warrior spirit (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

A voice of reason and defiance in this interesting nordic tale. If the light is doused what is left but cold and dark? So lets cling to hope and I will be your strength. A positive team talk!

this is so uplifting...yes, not a scream a roar....and to have friend like this who would not back down from anything....only with the instinct to fight.
yes, life is too short not to let instinct rule.
great piece, KWP.

Yes I like it > My Viking spirit is still within me
But I now avoid tangles with those who try to curb my spirit
I prefer to ignore their taunts and jibes
Bit use then as spurs to drive me on
