Carry My Shadow

To stop her tears flowing endlessly, 
remembering eleven years ago,
a helpless injured body, beaten
By her own hands,
 smashed her head on the wall, 
 dripping a fountain of blood.
 
 That day, she hypnotized 
her spirit and soul
Not to abandon her,
but carry her wounded shadow
To her doctor,
lamenting for help.

Her youth was evaporating, 
she needed to stabilize 
her elderly emotions, 
to stop living in the past,
if not, her future,
 will never be lived.

Cured Today.
She did intercept to abolish
Her melancholic delusional thoughts, 
and involve her dreams
 To wake up, 
project a beautiful ambiance.

She did nourish her desire 
not to surrender, 
to the unhealthy society,
but enjoy sharing the love
To remain affectionate, 
even sentimental 
towards life.

She will embark her thoughts
To lift her compassion, 
imagination, and forgiveness, 
 fascinate her existence with
The will power,
 to fight to live.

She will then, become strong, 
 befriend her emotions, 
kindness and sensitiveness, 
 all her loyalties, 
to allow her soul 
be occupied, with joy.

She will feel the urge to
Find a place in time to withdraw, 
dream how to replenish herself,
Forbid her mind to remain 
ailing,
and survive.

She will then, live with a mission, 
become saturated with gratitude
Being alive,
 in the present time.
   Therese Bacha

Theresa Bacha, besides loving as Mother Theresa loved, your poem is OVERCOMERS Victory in so many ways. Trust Holy Spirit to guide U to victory over any other spirits (All Dis-eases are spirits, as a shorthand I use in teaching EMPOWERMENT) shalom, shalom

Hello Terry!! We are all indeed survivors. At times, it's very easy for some to take counsel of their own fears. Life always presents all of us with certain challenges that often test our individual mettle and our will power to preserve. "Carry My Shadow" is a wondrously honest and moving write. and full of passion. Your message here speaks volumes to the reader. "Being alive in the present time," says it all. Superbly Done!! Cheers and Best, Gary (P.S. It's a FAVE too!!) -- GB

Hi Gary, I loved your philosophy between your heartfelt feelings. You know of course that we all pass through ups and down.Before i could find a solution quicker than today, as my aging is starting to become real, and my solutions sometimes help, and other times it is not helping.But i will fight back by getting positive to find writing poems again can help me love again my moments in the now.Terry xoxo
