The Essence Of Me

Carol Roach

Long before my earthly incarnation ? 

I was spirit, love and adoration

On central stage among the stars

I circled the planets Venus and Mars

? 

Gestation period cold and dark

Brought forth the rhythm of my heart

Mother womb, portal on earth

I waited for my precious birth

? 

To this world I would be born

A winter rose amid the thorn

Unprepared to brave the quest

I could not let my spirit rest

? 

For there were those who could not see

My heart and soul; the essence of me

They wished that I would disappear

Among the clouds in total fear

? 

The angels heard my spirit cry

My talent they could not deny

One sheltered me beneath her wing

Until she heard my true heart sing

? 

Spirit awakened; robust and alive

Creative juices flowing; I began to strive

The world took notice of my plight

My strength endured; I set things right

? 

For now they understood too well

How they created my living hell

My crafted words today I share

Among the world with tender? care

? 

I am? who I was meant to be

Aligned with? my perfect destiny

For? now my future will be bright

I? know that I was born to write

?
