Call Me Warrior
For once I am breaking my own rule on this site, & am posting a poem – because this poem is absolutely What I Am, and fits with the spirit of this blog, too. This poem is in my heart right now.
Do not mistake my kindness for weakness;
Do not think that as a Healer I am helpless,
My heart is open but not unprotected –
The danger has not gone undetected.
I will not falter and I shall not yield,
I accept this Power I can wield,
I fight not with a weapon in my hand –
It is a different battle for which I stand.
I understand there may be pain,
If I do not venture there will be no gain
To pretect my community, kith and kin –
Every battle shall I face and plan to win.
You see but do not know what you see,
Shadows on the edge that dance with me
Look further than your eye Sight
I walk determined with the Spirit Light
I know the Darkness that is surrounding,
With my Spirit Guides I go hunting and a-hounding
For you I promise I will never weaken,
It is my calling and my duty to be a Spirit Beacon.
My Strength and courage flows on the inside
Fear will never turn me aside
I accepted this challenge and this Path
To walk between the Dark and Light is my Task.
My Shield-Drum and Voice will always be at hand;
Ready and alert shall I ever stand
I walk the Otherworlds with no barrier
Call me not Fool but call me –
Warrior.
Light & Blessings

Hi Shree,
thanks for dropping by 🙂 x x
I’ve followed Miro for some time. Glad you chose to reblog his worthy words.
Eric, this post is mine, he kindly reblogged it!
But I am glad he did as I now I have found his excellent site.
My apologies, Heidi. It sounded so much like Miro’s work that I inadvertently figured it to be his. Rightful thanks to you for a wonderful, thought-provoking post. And I, too, am glad that I’ve found your blog!
🙂 I take it as a compliment!

Heidi, I absolutely loved your poem, it filled me with strength for Warriors we are as we do battle keeping the Light not fearing the Dark.. and Comes with a similar theme to a poem I only finished last evening at 3am, as I did battle with my own thoughts of a world about to step into the abyss of the Unknown….
Wonderful, and Keep breaking your rules, for this was so needed to be read and I hope many more will take on board its uplifting message
Wishing you a Peaceful Sunday
