| Old Souls......only Posted: 12/28/2006 10:56:07 PM | My heart is glad and I will follow the path of life. My soul is in the earth and of the earth and I shall take of all the things that are offered to me by nature. My soul shall also rest in hope - hope that I shall see no longer the oppression of the poor. Hope that the sighing of the needy will be quieted and the turbulence of unrest and warfare will cease. Sorrows of death have encompassed me at times, and my soul has cried. I have seen sleepless nights and unending worrisome days; days of thick clouds and dark waters. And then, the brightness that comes after the clouds have passed. The unequivical beauty of a dew-kissed rose and the thundering of a waterfall. I have ridden on the wings of the wind and been carried to the heavens by a smile. The soul is brought down and fallen and given new life to stand again. I shall laugh again, and my soul will live forever.

| Old Souls......only Posted: 12/29/2006 3:52:09 PM | let me sit and stillness follow basking in the flicker of the flames watching life and past and those things not yet come pass before me
let me shelter in the loving presence of friends who do not churn the waters of my mind but let the stillness seep through every pore until I can breathe again
thank you Truth for the ever welcoming fire by which we sit when it all becomes too much a place where we can return to 'who' we are | |

| Old Souls......only Posted: 12/29/2006 5:17:09 PM | To all the old souls who sit by the campfire of Truth, and to Truth himself I wish you all the best of the year(s) to come and hope that each of you will continue to find rest and companionship with the souls who frequent this camp; and that your stay here (in this life) will be filled with joy and happiness and peace.

| Old Souls......only Posted: 12/29/2006 5:54:30 PM | THE OTHER DAY I CAME ACROSS THIS WONDERFUL THREAD, AND I WROTE SOMETHING.
BEFORE I WROTE I WENT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I KNEW I HAD WRITTEN MONTHS AGO, THAT FITS PERFECTLY WITH THIS THREAD, WELL I FOUND IT. ITS EXACTLY THE WAY I WROTE IT ON SEPT. 28, 2006
Written for clarity and closure
To Those Who It Does Concern:
There is a thread here, has been for longer than a million years, it seems. I know and you know, there is a thread of light. Although both our effects have different causes, the agreement was made. Something stronger than a diamond, My ear on your heart It hurts, does not feel good I have lost control, my greatest fear, and yours is being met so I know you will understand mine.
Travelling in the darkness in rooms of old. I did not want to go this way. It was stronger than me. Compelled and controlled by thoughts, that would not go away Compromise with the dark side, crawling in pain. Brings me to my knees, as I cry for God's mercy.
I cry and don't want to care anymore. I give up willingly to the pain. Is it my just do? Then like a shadow that grows as the sun goes down. I am humbled, In the shadow, knowing I just came from hell.
My mind suddenly still, unsure of when it will start again. I watch my heart. Not sure what happened where I am going? Recovering slowly moment by moment.
Fearful humble, Is this the only way to tear down the wall?
May the blessings be. | |

| Old Souls......only Posted: 12/30/2006 2:33:45 PM | I Succumbed her steely gaze of wrath and venom running deep to ponder, nay wonder these many days, or is it many weeks?
A hankering, I feel every now and then to word instead of weep. Putting the thoughts running through my mind..... to paper, so to speak.
Breath night air, crisp and cool. Seasons change as does the fool. Fool me once and yet again I wallow in these cerebral walls of knowing.
Call me away celestial wings, to glide this path, I'm stumbling along this journey so puzzling, yet also crystal clear.
The child does speak, a voice....so weak it yearns of other times. To jump. To play. Don't let it get away, the child within your mind.
Innocence within the shrill is what makes this planet such a thrill. It's what makes the savage kind.
BEHOLD. The tempest gathers rage, blind to thought. Shrouded in haze. As days turns into daze, I gaze. Transfixed in time, the essence.
Reach out. Grab there. Hold on, be aware. For echoes of harmony grow near. Still faint yet daunting.
Time draws near. Tick tock do you hear? Here we grow and there we go, but unscathed? Not likely. | |

Conjuring dark thoughts from the recesses of an embittered mind.
Spewing forth blasphemous rantings unpure. Twisted entanglement. Orgies of the flesh!
Demonic desire circumventing the darkness.
Cereberal trinity of sinful debauchery slam shut, gates of hell.
Cold, I am left wanting, devoid my indemnity. | |

For thus he rose to hold not peace... A life calling solitude by thine shadow dark.... A memory brought forth a warmth to hide.... Serenity a bliss never felt hands torn he tried..... Below that bridge dwelling night's soft place.... Drowning ever more by river's flow...... Life was wind as little more... ...A breath he disturb it's pass..... Friends held by mind's eye.... ....He remembered that day..... Long ago when time was light.... A gentle exhale now..... ....For upon him he knew a love...... A glow of Golden Warmth before him now.......
He smiled..... ...He closed his eyes..... And raised a single hand to thine Angel there...... She spoke a single word unto him.... A tear fell slow he could not cry..... There before him ......Love...... He felt then warmth wherein did lie not but shivering ice... ...She told him.....sleep..... ..Rise forth thine Spirit cold........ A final breath..... .....A gentle exhale......
They found him days later..... Cold by those winds..... Upon his face we wore not sorrow's mask..... ....But a smile.... His eyes where closed...... ..........A hand raised.........
..........A single frozen tear................

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/1/2007 5:23:19 PM | EPITAPH My epitaph I spotted as I looked behind me on the road less traveled. It said nothing of the loves I had lived and lost, nor stated anything of the trials, or tears. On cold granite was my name, forgotten but in the hearts of those touched by my passing. | |

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/2/2007 2:36:56 PM | Only an Old Soul could recognize me

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/2/2007 2:54:24 PM | if truth be told, of legends bold and old souls gathering round
of maidens fair, and deeds of dare and blood spilt upon the ground
and perchance, of midnights dance with members of the fairie world
of spells cast, and legends that last of a time before this one unfurled
would it truely be, as we would see the mighty deeds of men
or if we look, outside yon book the truth will be my friends
that knights not so bold, and life so cold was how things really were
maidens not so fair, filth everywhere and heros nought but curs?
if so let it be, but as for you and me i'd sooner let my imagination sail
of heros so fine, fair maidens devine give me good old fairy tales. | |

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/4/2007 1:03:45 AM | My soul is old too. I feel alone yet quietly at peace even while surrounded by friends. I have nothing to prove to others. I feel I am here to impart wisdom on souls that would be younger than mine and to learn from others as well for the benefit of my own soul's journey. I have not looked into this too much but over the years many people have commented that I am an "Old Soul". I have the 'old soul' eyes too. lol :)

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/4/2007 7:45:56 AM | truth,
thanks for your thread....
New Soul ********
I realized the other day she was not an old soul I only thought she was.........
I always thought because what she had been through that she was, not for me to judge...........
When I knew of her touch with death I thought certain it was so, but no she told me so..............
she simply told me that she was new and unable to see things like I do she said that she wanted to learn but it would take lifetimes time we didn't have now...................
she is with another and seemingly happy
my old soul... searches the universe for understanding

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/4/2007 7:59:01 AM | Letting go is hard to do. It is the first act of loving when we let go of our need in favour of just the Holy Cow! What a miracle of loveliness!
And it is the more important last act of loving, too, when we realize that what will not be ours, is nevertheless deserving of our love... | |
|
| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/4/2007 9:29:54 AM | Souls not meant to be, but still souls nonetheless...
She came to drop off our son. I see who she really is not evil, not the biatch I rant about but a soul that is learning not able to grasp certain things that I hold true
It is in fact more important to let go, and love anyway realizing that souls never merged! but in being myself now I know that at least she has one

| Old Souls......only Posted: 1/4/2007 2:20:43 PM | For indeed whyspr blood's been spilled.... .....for noble cause and not..... Danced in tune a Warrior's doom.... and dangled hangman's knot.... Is what we seek those action's reaped?.... are we then held for this?.... A maiden's kiss.... A graveyard's mist.... When then I may sleep?...... For word's tell truth in plain sight I.... ....am as I appear..... Not much more....... An open door..... but friendship to me clear........
Let imagination sail and hold to timeless winds..... for beach may dance.... by words romance......... A soft place telling sins.................
For maidens fair with wind blown hair..... and subtle glancing eyes..... Tell me place..... of endless grace........
Where Truth is real not Lies...................
(of course.....it's nice to fantasize).........
