Author's Note

HEAVEN OF MY SOUL

Crossroads loom as I labor to meet a vital goal.
Walk I a path of choice to seek the Heaven of my soul.
This revered place will grant respite as calm is increased.
Anguish and torment of past shall blessedly be released.

In the Heaven of my soul, healing graces my cheek,
Given with compassion as freedom of worries I seek.
Serenity illuminates darkness with purity of light.
Discord’s shadow flees as lamps of angels shine ever bright.

My spirit journeys to find the Heaven of my soul.
On angel’s gossamer wing, I soar onward to my goal.
In vast rivers of sorrow filled with tears of my pain,
Troubles are washed away as peace in my spirit I gain.

Soothed now am I from tragedies of life,
Sweet comfort has mitigated recollections of strife.
Banished are onerous concerns as hope is conceived.
Bondage is eradicated from a past I’ve long grieved.

Splendid realm of consolation, my past I erase.
The Heaven of my soul is my home of eternal grace.
Bliss brings a dance of liberty forever divine.
Shielded from midnight thunder, tranquility is now mine!

Wow.. such a wonderful journey into oneself.. brilliantly written with a passionate insight pouring so passionately from one's heart, soul and mind. Self discovery is such a beautiful thing .. it brings about so many hidden deep emotions that when embraced and used creatively can redirect oneself to a better world unto oneself.. there is good and bad throughout the world and in every human... part of our carnal nature.. everyone has strengths and weaknesses which you have painted an awesome picture of who you are within ... battling a life of strife like so many.. loved the whole writing especially the line:

And celestial clouds join me in a dance of relief for my troubled mind.

There are many other lines in this writing that touch.. but I get a vision of a beautiful womanly silhouette dancing on clouds with that line.. lol.. great flow and imagery.. truly a piece of work I am saving to favorites! =)

One of God's ways of reaching us is through our deepest selves. No one can show us our weaknesses or our strengths better than He can..He is always there, He never leaves nor forsakes us..God bless..valentine

This is amazing writing! You take the reader away from the world for awhile to a place of incredible peace. I just loved it!

You have such a flair with poetry.
How you join words & how you evoke such feelings in the reader with your imagery.
The rhyme scheme was also wonderful & you used it do great effect.
A beautiful write & as usual, one filled with upliftment for the weary soul. A signature mark of your poetry.

Yours truly,

It certainly has your special touch. *smile* Finding the heaven of one's soul is quite a long and challenging journey. Many people (perhaps most?) never get to that special place. I'm really happy to see that you seem to be so well on your way. =) Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful Sheila...you've achieved what so many of us can only dare to strive for...complete serenity and contentment with who and what we are today.

You are fortunate indeed to arrive at that place in your life...it is what we all are striving for, and rarely attain.

Loved this Sheila!
