you are a powerful force

that fills the void with light
and makes the unsafe safe

that warms a heart gone cold
and lifts a spirit fallen

that neutralises nightmares
and fills the world with rose

that finds the people lost
and comforts on the journey

that takes away the fear
of all we hold in dread

you are
a
powerful
FORCE

Hi Jillian

Goodness - this has the feel of a prayer! The Book of Proverbs? Egyptian Book of the Dead? But no name for the Force?

Perhaps it is in the hermetic tradition of Hermes Trismegistus, later adopted into esoteric Western belief, with a few twists and turns, as the World Soul?

A curious but thought provoking piece. More incantation than poetry?

I really have no idea, but it was good! Plagious

Yes, this could have been spoken by Chingachgook at the close of Last of the Mohicans, offering a prayer for dead Uncas to the sun [rising or setting?] from a mountaintop.
