Fought for my soul today

I fought today
A rather fearful battle.
I beat today
My dear old friend
Ambition.

I fought today
A very frightful onslaught.
I wrestled down today
That strong antagonist
Called fear.

I fought today
A war against temptation,
And for an endless moment
I thought I’d given in.

I fought today
The battle of my life,
And found the odds were even,
That I was not alone.
A friend spoke true
And fed my vision’s fire
And saved my soul
Today.

Shape-shifter

A mermaid sitting on the rocky shore,
An elf playing in the woods,
A dancer whirling me around,
A singer soaring high,
A colleague to rely on,
A digger bringing things to light,
An arresting woman with a slender waist,
A girl with her doubts hidden in a box,
An honest friend.
All this and so much more.
