Man of two worlds

Here,Loved and affirmed.A warrior who sings talesOf strange lands and pastBattles fought and lost. There,Loved by small measuresBound by duty to Protect and provide.Your song muffled inAn overcoat of exertion Here,Embraced and enrichedA man who awakens theSleep of learningGilds the dawn With coloured laughterAnd passion There,Empathy and understandingColdSmall naked lights of lifeStretchingReaching for the light to growSeeded future blossom Within,Here and there collidesWarrior’s soul sees all in loveCuts throughHope A warrior’s strength is withinThe hand that wields the swordIs within the heart that holdsLove

Dear Seabhac:

Your poem speaks worlds to my heart. I like it very much; it's not only beautiful, but profound; it teaches, nudges and encourages to aspire to those heights. Simply excellent! I love it! Sincerely, Hugo

Hi Hugo

I feel like I creep onto Neo just now and drop little parcels of poems and I have not had the time to immerse myself in all that it has to offer...some great poetry for one, friends like you and the lovely comment you have left gives more than just feedback, it gives resonance to the soul. Thanks Seabhac

We're all warriors...

in our own right. Fighting to be a part of a world that's not easy to conform to at times. I've faught many battles and won most. The battles I'm still fighting, I stand strong and ready to commence the battle. Great inpirational poem for me. Rosina xena465

Oh Rosina

You are indeed a warrior, a strong and wonderful woman who has found the power of her voice having been dumb for many years...I think we may hear you singing yet, if but a song of battle as you wield your sword and right all your wrongs. Seabhac

:) I like this;

What sayeth thee of the sword sayeth thee so of the word for which 'tis wielded; for Love is the shield of the warrior heart-

I had regconised in you

Your poetry, in words and style shone the light of warrior from the first time I read it. It is your reply that allowed me to see why it is I empathise with your work, the element of self identifacation, wonderful. Thank you for this lovely poem Love is the shield of a warriors heart does that make the sword protector of soul? Seabhac

Hi...:)

Yes. As well as its destroyer. 'T is the nature of sword and soul. One must love the soul, loathe the sword; it is in the loving of another soul that the sword's virtue rings true. For the sword is forged in defiance of its own need and would rather remain in the rock of the earth where its power originates. Crave not, the power; hold true the shield; yet if the test needed, know thy sword's strength.

Small naked lights of life Stretching

Ann of Norway A woven thought of loves sides here and there and around your poem, I see you say something above that I agree with too:- "Much food here for future works" I agree as there are some moments in this poem that would love to be embroidered a little more and would each be a subject worth exploring. I am going to say my favourite bit, oddly is "An overcoat of exertion" My favourite verse:- "There, Empathy and understanding Cold Small naked lights of life Stretching Reaching for the light to grow Seeded future blossom" The final one is good too, I found I was not concentrated enough perhaps because it is getting late and I have been too long sitting here!!!!!! 'Scuse me!! Love Ann

Ann

Always so lovely to have you come visit me. Many men live two lives with two loves and the threads of both those loves are real and equal in their own way Small naked lights of life streatching are his children in his other life naked in life and unprotected without his presense, they are the seed of his future all our futures. This is about finding balance and doing the noble thing. How torn is he to be in such a juxtaposition Seeabhac

hello

A worthy subject, the warrior, and you take us behind the scene and show up the heart and soul of the warrior. My favorite lines are: Within, Here and there collides Warrior’s soul sees all in love Cuts through Hope Always, Cat
