Burdened Inner Child

You sit on my shoulders pulling me down Still promising possibility which I tend to doubt Whispering to catch my breath to listen to hear Blowing winds of change Hissing air exhaled Burning inside fledging flames.....Fanon Burdened Inner child you rest a world torn head on my breast Racing my heart to engulfing expectation Trust a golden string that joins your spirit to my core You are in my aching heart in my blood in my care even if I try to ignore your voice Innocence you wiled away my peace No longer can I lie in blessed oblivion Knowing is benediction bowed by bonds Bearing offers light a chance to speak stand up and to show To embrace challenges that pull you down Star stuck I am compelled to stand to walk to respond to resume responsibility I am forced to be a dream dealer living in the now trading daily in hope Forgiveness letting go set me free

Propels me on leaden legs to march with fidelity and new found inner strength Amongst the dark and daring I do not crumble I stand firm I walk the walk I talk the walk I endure stormy seas Summonsed by you to face my shadow

You quiet my pounding heart tear stained eyes with breathless smiles Giving hope and trust .......living in the now I am living I am alive ........filled with gratitude and love My Burdened inner child I love and embrace you with an emphatic ear You shine the way .......... I hold you tight you take on the stormy seas with dedication commitment and staying power You are my soul mate........ Elise Beeby
