I am posting this here a well as on the Zen thread as there have been so many different threads about pain, and how it makes you stronger. Thanks ot Rude Dawg for making me write this and for the help. Yes its true - the dirty doggy has a poetic soul


The Forging

A bar of iron becomes a blade
A shard of steel to shape a sword
Feels the heat from burning fire
To soften so the bar can bend before the blows
Muscles ripple in the flicker from the flame
Hammer rises, falls hard and heavy on the bar
A ring that echoes from the smithy walls
A bar of iron becomes a blade.

A girl becomes no more a child
Harsh and bitter words that strike
Like angry blows and batter
On a heart grown soft and tender
With the fires of first and youngest love
And sorrow finds a way to shape
A song within her mind
A girl becomes no more a child

A blunt and brittle blade becomes a sword
Fire and ice – the ruby red of heat
The diamond shine of searing cold
The harshness of the white-hot flame
The water tainted with the bitterness of salt
To bind the blade with subtle strength
And lend a potent power to the edge
A blunt and brittle blade becomes a sword

An untried maid becomes a woman
A cold and biting breeze
Blows around an open grave
Tears tainted with the bitterness of salt
Trace a searing path across skin pale and cold
An aching breaking heart
Finds the strength to carry on
An untried maid becomes a woman

I can only imagine the melody that would go with such beautiful lyrics.

Goodness knows there is a lot of Dark out there!! - Where are my matches?!?
