that would never allow her to simply be
he'd always possess the fear of flight
of her souring endlessly into the night]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been well over a year since I wrote this. . . and still the epic continues&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_6142" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://cordiebw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/lovefearenlightment.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6142" title="Love, Fear and Enlightenment, CordieB. " src="http://cordiebw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/lovefearenlightment.jpg" alt="" title="Love, Fear and Enlightenment, CordieB. " width="500" height="367" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Love, Fear and Enlightenment ~CordieB. </p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>She gazed upon his deep brown eyes<br />
Glaized with love and fear; confused yet wise<br />
she knew he loved her desperately . . . .<br />
he could not risk her flying free</p>
<p>She knew she loved him through all fate<br />
with him she&#8217;d found her mirrored mate<br />
but with his love came blind control<br />
Though undeliberate, such control shackled her soul</p>
<p>She knew her love was full and true<br />
but there were other things she also knew . . .<br />
she knew she could not be contained<br />
into the life for which he&#8217;d planned</p>
<p>She knew he had insecurities<br />
that would never allow her to simply be<br />
he&#8217;d always possess the fear of flight<br />
of her souring endlessly into the night</p>
<p>But since her love was true and tried<br />
she eased his fears; stayed by his side<br />
dealt with his subtle controls of will<br />
convinced his way was better still</p>
<p>In time she lost desire to feel . . .</p>
<p>the warmth of the glowing sun<br />
the coolness of the rain upon<br />
her gentle being which she&#8217;d dreamed of<br />
she&#8217;d traded peace of mind for love . . .</p>
<p>but still the longing in her eyes<br />
revealed a tale of silent cries<br />
this only hightend his insecurites<br />
gave way to anger; raged immaturities<br />
he&#8217;d often, confused, demand her to leave<br />
but she&#8217;d hold to her sweet reprieve . . .</p>
<p>then one blessed day so crystal clear<br />
the god&#8217;s of earth&#8217;s great atmosphere<br />
gave strength to follow the raged command<br />
thus she left the home of her beloved man<br />
which she had humorously dubbed the promise land</p>
<p>though she knew his words were those of fear<br />
the god&#8217;s gave her insight true and clear<br />
that though her love was tried and true<br />
living that life again; she she could not do</p>
<p>she needed the ability to shed her tears<br />
to speak or write her words without the fears<br />
of disillusioned, often drunken anger<br />
for which she feared might trigger danger</p>
<p>But still her love so pure remained<br />
Yet her peace of mind was hence regained<br />
she knew she really loved this man<br />
but feared rejection and anger once again . . .</p>
<p>She bathed in sweet tranquilities<br />
she felt she finally could breath<br />
she missed his presense even so . . .<br />
Yet there was a stranger she had to get to know</p>
<p>She needed to get to know herself<br />
not live her life for someone else<br />
she needed to live her own desires<br />
find out what really sparked her fires</p>
<p>Again, her love was tried and true<br />
but being alone was something she needed to do<br />
she&#8217;d always ran from man to man<br />
if one doesn&#8217;t work out; another one can<br />
was often her motto for many years<br />
so in fact she had never faced her inner fears<br />
thus she found herself crying the same sad tears</p>
<p>She felt if she simply returned for love<br />
the same problems would arise in time thereof<br />
for although she loved him beyond compare<br />
she knew she&#8217;d lost a part of self somewhere . . .</p>
<p>Ah yes! she loved him desperately<br />
and felt there love was meant to be<br />
but with raw emotions and fear intertwined<br />
she risked loosing his love to find her mind</p>
<p>To be continued. . . .</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Opening lines from Gregory David Robert&#8217;s Shantaram:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">&#8220;It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn&#8217;t sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when its all you have got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving,can become the story of your life.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Quote for the Day:  You can be so heavenly bound until you are no earthly good – Dr. Oscar Lane</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;In the Course of One&#8217;s Life Time &#8221; inspired by  <a href="http://simplysnickers.blogspot.com/">Simply Snicker&#8217;s</a> Poetry Prompt.  This weeks words were, climb, course, and craft.  Let us keep Linda and the Midwest, USA, in our prayers, as she and her community have endured natural disasters due to flooding this week.</p>
