Golden Heart Comments

Very true. It's courage and wisdom that can get us through life with dignity. Fairy tales are just an escape from reality. Only by facing up to the challenges can we survive. A golden heart is indeed one with courage, hope and wisdom. Very thoughtful write.

A wand, just one flick of the wrist, to fix everything that scares us. Wouldn't that be remarkable. Another perfect poem. Thank you

Oh, but I want that place you describe so well here... I yearn for a place where I could go and physically confront those demons of the spirit, those memories of things that won't let go. Oh, the peace of it- -to stab a sword into its dragon heart and that vanquishes the sin, the memory of sin, from my life, my heart, my soul, forever and ever. It is so difficult to vanquish these gossamer ghosts that live only inside ourselves. We wish for this magic place but life is not so easy as fighting off a monstrous fire-breathing dragon. Life is for braver souls than that. Excellent topic to give your readers to ponder. Excellent writing.
