DANCING WITH DEMONS

  DANCIING WITH DEMONS  I have been to places you have been Out of dark corners and in again Dancing with demons to the same song Wondering when this circle will end Wondering what fault or sin What wrong Humanity is paying for I don’t see  Those things  anymore Once clear to me Or I see and pretend it all not to be An unforgiving reality But Here I am and here I stay Every second of my day Alive to survive And   When it is over and I am gone I’ll still sing the lyrics to my own song

Indeed, my dearest heart,

Indeed, my dearest heart, 'tis the only song we ever truly sing... Much Love. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

And some of us will hear them

If you beat us to the finishing post, we might hear them on the wind, or in our souls that you have primed with sensitivity seemingly divine, yet real, a tangible feel, how mysteriously clear you are in your mind and while suffering such humiliating, debilitating reality in your plight. We all want to help you fight and rise supreme above the petty mass of mundane things to places where you have no pain and sing. Longobardolino mi, Annuccia.
