![]() Wild SoulA Poem by Tabitha Alphess![]() Watched Spirit, wrote this.![]() Wild
Soul There are deserts
that should never be crossed. There are mountains
that should never be climbed. There are rivers
that should never be channeled. There are trees
that should never be chopped down. There are pastures
that should never be cut. There are lions
that should never be tamed. And there are horses
that should never be ridden. There are eagles whose
wings should never be clipped. There are fires
that should never be extinguished. There are storms
that should never be chased. There is lightning
that should never be harnessed. There are waves
that should never be surfed. There are seas that
should never be sailed. And there are spirits
that should never be broken. There are spirits
that cannot be broken. They burn with an
unquenchable passion and yearn for life and freedom. On wings like the
eagle they soar through the sky with passion and grace, They fight for what
is right with a spirit like a stallion, And with the heart
of a lion they roar into the darkness and the shadows must flee. The earth may
tremble, The sword may
shatter, The ocean may rage, And the sky may
crack, But the spirit of
the true and free and wild-hearted will never be broken. Just as the wolf
sings to silver moon the wild will cry out into the night to the stars and
rejoice. And in reply the
stars dance with them in delight, awakening forgotten dreams and remembering
lost souls. Thunder beats
against the clouds and lightning cracks the sky in two, Just as the hooves
of a horse beat against the ground and the fire in their souls flash with
ardor. The lion roars into
the shadows and the darkness must flee, Just as the sun
rises the night must take flight and escape to the dark from whence it came. Dark is powerful, It is strong. But where there is
darkness there is light. The light shines
through the dark, Piercing it like a
sword plunging into the heart of a demon. And the wild and
free rejoice with their untamed song As the stars shimmer
and dance in unison in an array of dappled dreams, Like waves cresting
over the silver core moon and crashing against the rocks with thunderous and
melodious ecstasy. There are deserts, There are seas, There are
mountains, and rivers, and trees and pastures. There are lions and
horses and eagles, And there are fires
and storms and lightning and waves. They are mighty, But the beating
thunder of a wild soul’s heart roars into the darkness And pierces it with
a shining sword of glimmering fervor and burning flame that cannot be
extinguished. For the soul of a
true wild soul is mightier than the shadows and beats harder than the thunder
in the sky. It cannot be
broken. But instead gallops
into the night. And just as the
wolf sings to silver moon the wild will cry out into the night to the stars and
rejoice. And in reply the
stars dance with them in delight, awakening forgotten dreams and remembering
lost souls. For this is the way
of the Wild Soul, And it will not and
cannot be broken. © 2013 Tabitha AlphessAuthor's Note
