My Spirit Soars

This poem was written as an expression of the power and passion that lies within me. It is also a reminder that that is how one should feel on a regular basis. It should be the light that shines through family, through work, through social and private time, and through hobbies.

It is also a reminder that, often, others (including family members and bosses) take actions to squelch this fire. For their own reasons, their own journeys along their life paths, their efforts stifle the passions of others, put skills and talents within a box, limit potential and limit Self.

It is our choice to keep to our path, to be true to ourselves, to let our spirits soar, or, for a number of reasons, to follow their path and to bury or quiet our spirit. To be true to Self, this quieting of spirit needs to be short-term; it needs to be a step along our path; it needs to have purpose and meaning.

As with all situations in our lives this quieting of spirit is a challenge that provides us an opportunity to discover and heed a life lesson, for our path to become clearer, for our understanding of Self to become clearer and to be move consciously and purposefully along our path.

Spread your wings; feel the spirit fire in the core of your body; be true to yourself, your passion, your spirit. Love life; live life;
