She Will Go

The Present-Day Psalmist

26
She Will Go
Julia Curtis

Fire on the edge

of the finest women in the room

freezing ones who stare

Who can stop her?


The corners of her eyes

tell stories; any man would love

to hear her in the dark

see her bare with one single sheet


Why, I’ve seen her before

I see her quite often

slightly turn my neck

from behind I can see her shadows


She is the expert

at playing games; with

her whisper she’ll spill out

lovely melodies


and without resistance

you find yourself trapped

in her lovely sound

terrible, wonderful is her tune


Quickly you turn to find

nothing but nothing

standing before you

emptiness and fear


What is true in the moment,

might not be true at all

Run away from her!

Quick, before she notices


Your legs turn to salt

with the looking back blink

Pierce your eyes on what has been pierced

Widen your eyes on what is ahead


It is made for you, darling

Just for you

Gold upon gold

You will dance upon gold


The woman edged in fire

She will vanish

I can promise you,

She will go


No longer will she taunt you

Her hands will be tied

from your heart and soul

She will go


Willingly you laid again with her

only after to become hollow

battling her to leave

She will go


I promise you,

She will go.


Just promise me

Don’t let go

of what you cannot see

Close your eyes and make believe


There’s something good

something better

something so much more than

the woman edged in fire


This place is not a mystical place

It’s filled with love, full of grace

There’s no one dying

no more tears


And best of all, it drowns your fear

Your worried eyes will come to rest

Your desperate cries won’t fill your breath

You’ll be too busy singing


To the man

whose eyes are fire

The woman edged in fire

is really edged in ash


She has nothing on the man

nothing on His power

He burns with things

she does not posses


Shout to the man with burning eyes

“Holy, holy, holy!”

Flaming to see you face to face

Burning with love and passion

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
