Sometimes a holy woman comes,
She walks in from the earth,
She carries all the wisdom from
Today until time's birth,

I didn't realise it then:
You can't stand in progress' way,
Was I master of my fate?
I dug my heels in anyway.

She tested me all over
Again, until I saw
Ordeals are there for learning
And not the devil's law.

I heard Hawk's cry a million times
Before I understood
The way of things, the eagle's flight
Not having what I should,

She wasn't there to get me,
But simply passing by,
And so we kissed and made up,
Satan, Christ and I.

I guess we should use this now,
This wisdom all for good,
To learn from our mistakes, knowing
We did what we could,

So starting now, that history
Will now renew itself,
Not end up in dusty volumes
On a bloody shelf.

And so Creator has walked in,
With metal or with blues,
Sometimes a holy woman comes
As bearer of the news.

This one is born from an idea I have. An idea that everything that happens to you has a purpose for you. When something bad happens you can say that Jesus is out to get you or that Satan's the one on the war path. I think I've kissed and made up with both of them now, 'cause it just doesn't work for me to blame either of them, it's just not how my mind or beliefs work. So...
I find it's easier to get through the tough things in life by thinking that it's a test of strength and that you can learn something from it. 'Cause life is fucking hard. They say that ordeals make you stronger. I'm not sure that's true, but they make you wiser, I guess.

Wow.

"I dug my heels in anyway" is an excellent line. And the imagery is extremely interesting in these lines especially:

"And so we kissed and made up,
Satan, Christ and I."

Wow. You really know how to convey imagery through words... I really like your writing. I am so glad I found your poetry (I actually don't know how I did, but perhaps it was for a reason).

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep…
:iconjanne-landet-poetry:
Yes, perhaps it was... Thank you so much!
