Power of Love

a golden hilt
did shine in his belt
the sheath was jeweled
covered with gems
each one told a story
of long ago
Celtic Lore
fierce and brutal

a journey of time
time past, present, future

a golden hilt
did shine and flash
its blade true

an oaken forest
stood with well worn paths
unknown destinations
crossroads calling...follow me

stars shimmer in the sky
full moon was closing in

a golden hilt
pulled to reveal
a blade to draw blood
death awaits

coming to a clearing
ancient voices spoke
of ceremonies long ago
searching for awareness
awareness of mastery

a golden hilt
did glow
as blood flowed
like tears of mourning

a voice spoke
of love...life's mastery
put down your sword

he laid it upon an oaken stump
in the center of the clearing
sacrificial chanting rang
mantras of forgiveness
the world spun

a warrior was born
intent on love
finds it only is golden
a warrior in seeking
the awareness of love

the power of love

(c) Dale Clark
