The spirit

There is a spark of the divine in my bones

A thin gold band of shimmering light runs through my veins

It defines me

My choices are my own

My attitude is my own

My fate, my beliefs, and my perceptions are my own

But this spirit in me was never mine

It is just a gift

One that I will hold until my last breath

It is the blessing to recognize Good

And the burden of defending it

A whirlwind 

That howls battlecries and songs about love

It protects my soul

It does not know fear and it does not sleep

It is sure of everything it does

It is the essence of Good and it is old

It likes music

And it tells me not to worry about why I was chosen to hold it

But instead to do what I can

What I Really can

I don't worry about my death 

Because I am content knowing the Spirit will simply move on to flow in different blood 

As someone else's gift

Nicely written piece! But I

Nicely written piece! But I am not quite sure what you're trying to say. The Spirit in you is not yours? What do you mean with this exactly? I liked it!
