The Ladder Of The Soul (For Relaxing)

[Edie Antoinette]

I surrender to the ladder of my soul
the rungs of which lay bare my sorrow
I step the progressive road to life
though weary from the climb.

Perceptive though my thoughts may be
I sometimes jump into the fray
Pastoral arms recover me
and lead me day by day.

A light shines at the top
of the ladder of my soul
beckoning my ascent even
when I fall, grasping my
hand when I lose all hope
shining brilliantly as I grope.

Calm, I tread the quiet path
leading to love
atop the ladder of my soul.

Hi Lady :D... I'm overjoyed that my little efforts help some. That's wonderful to hear! I hope you continue to improve and heal. I am also very sorry to hear about your good friend passing. Of course you can share this and whatever else you find encouraging on the site. I'm always glad to help.

Take Care of yourself and check in to let me know how it's going. I have something else for you that I think you will find soothing. I'll put it on your page.

Love and Respect~edie

Hi Edie~ I so much really enjoy listening to the music that goes with the Ladder Of The Soul poem. It has been a hectic couple of months. I just got home from the hospital yesterday from surgery, and today found out another good friend just passed suddenly. So, here I am again in your pages... listening to this music that helps me to calm me and I fall asleep. I read you poem again, and it is so beautiful... and I was wondering if I may share that with my dear friends family. Hope all is well with you and yours.... Love & Light... Lady D

[Edie Antoinette]

Thank you Deborah. I really appreciate your encouraging words. I was reading an article about King David and how he soothed so many with his harp playing. That inspired my poem and the music compilation. Feel free to use it on your page my dear~e

Edie, I love this music.... and I love your poetry, how it flows.... and I love how we have that in common.
I'd like to post this to my page, if I may. Deborah ~ Lady~D

Thank you Cindy. It's therapeutic for me to write, and I like making a little production to enhance it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. ~e

*laughin* It's funny how it hits me. I was reading an article about King David and how he invented and played beautifully, the harp--back in Bible times.

He was a musician, and poet--composing many of the Psalms. First I went and found the perfect harp music..and as it played, I wrote the poem above in 3 mins. My prose always flows out all at once with an inspired life of it's own...and like you say, "ahhhhhhh". This playlist really is relaxing, consisting of about 18 tracks. Thanks SoleSuggah, enjoy.
