between the plans of the corporal and the spiritual

the story behind this perticular Poem

I wrote this poem when I knew that by the weeks end, I had good chance I would no longer be alive. THough I did survie, I am glad I wrote it and more thankful that I lived so I may share it, with you all now, for it is still as true now as it is when I wrote it


If this was the last thing

 

If this was the last thing

Within the Halls of Asgard I hear them call my name

Yet do they call for me, to come, or to go away ?

Three paths lay before me which one shall be mine ?

Upon One I shall find myself looking upon Heimdall's Face, I wonder now shall I be given grace to pass,through the gates and onward to travel upon the rainbow bridge Bifrost. 

Upon another  I shall find myself awaken benath the canpoy of the tree and once more to walk upon the paths of Midgard knowing I will be called once more another time, another day, another year.

Upon another I shall find myself traveling through the gates and look upon Mordgud's face as she ushers me upon my  journey to Utgard.

I wished to know when Thors day comes to pass of the three paths, which path shall I take ?

To the three I did seek and did call their names.  I asked of what will come to pass and what ought to be when Thors day comes .

They spoke to me as one and spoke to me as three.  I listened most carefully for what they had to impart. Yet all they would impart to me was 

" Except this day what we say take comfort in our words for your fate is  already set all has been decided though we know we shall nay say what will be will be. Except our gift and be upon your way"

So my destiny and my fate now awaits for me and come  the end  of Thors Day I shall know what they meant.

If this was the last thing I was ever to know, then this I share with those who care, and may wish to know.

My time is as it should have been and no regreats do I see. For  good for bad through sun and rain all have made the paths of Midgard a wonderful  time for me.

If this was the last thing I am ever to impart then listen well for I can not tell if I shall have chance to say agin.

They that say the messure of a man is by his greatness would not see me. For nothing great have I been, nor did I ever become. Yet greatness is the smallest thing compared to those who find this one thing. For I know I have been most blessed to find what I have, To hold it within where none but one can see it true wealth. It has made me  far richer than many though my pockets be bare, and it has given me more than most shall ever know. Though I have nothing by the counters of wealth shall ever be able to share, without care or sorrow upon their brow. Tis a simple thing  some may say, Yet I wonder if they ever knew what It is and to have  knowen and felt without a doubet the greatest thing any could ever wish to find or to have. The greatest thing all seek and wish to know.

 True love, that dos not falter in the storms of life nor does it fade over time.

If I have had nothing else in my time Then this I know I have been blessed to have had to have knowen.

Now time has come when I must walk upon this path alone, though I take with me all the love I have ever knowen. For now where I go it shall be my guiding light, my warmth and comfort when and because of it I shall not feel alone.

 Another verse I hear you ask well let us wait and see how that verse shall come to pass.

Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting : The Astonishing Power of Feelings Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting : The Astonishing Power of Feelings
what Lynn writes..Instead of thinking positive thoughts..you have to "FEEL" the positive emotions behind the thoughts. Example : Thought : I want a new car. Feeling: Feel the feeling of driving the new car..the smell of the new car ..how you are soaring in good vibes as you start your engine of your new car..I think you get my drift. It sounds so easy..but by Gosh it works and within 2 weeks of reading her book, I had changes of prosperity in my life

When purchasing self help books, I think it helps to remember that, like ordering food or clothing, you're choosing something for yourself, not anyone else. The book doesn't need to suit anyone's needs but your own and if a book doesn't suit your needs, that doesn't mean it might not offer someone else exactly what they need to work through their situations.
