White Light Shadow Soul

Missing image
Inner child, emotional
with conviction,
sheds low rumble for roar,

an emerging autumn-

Ferocious fire
burning from mountain to shore,
purging self from within.

And demon shadows adjourn,
rising as writhing spire,

bleeding with wind to mourn
genuine strength of spirit
no longer ignored.

Awareness released,
vicious, wild and glorious~

flame of felicity.

    An untamed beauty this certainly is! I'm impressed. Such depth and vision truly deserves every bit and more of the praise it has been given. I hope you get plenty more that recognition.

    Lovely, steadily increasing intensity in this write. Tied in beautifully to Author notes! The "ferocious fire burning from mountain to shore, purging self from within" rolls smoothly with the curving liquidity of form shown in the artwork.
    Uplifting thought, that demons adjourn as we find and enlarge the strength of our spirits. Blazing conclusion, finely alliterated "flame of felicity."

    The purification by fire leaving only a core of strength with the impurities burned away. These are my thoughts inspired by your poem. A great response to the picture and the theme.

    Your piece gives us the spirit that is the untamed beauty and as such it is soulful poetry. Love, C
