It never ceases to amaze me at how "fitting" the week's photo prompt is when I pop over to Magpie Tales hosted by Willow. Her photography, always rich and deep, endless meanings available...
Yet She Wields...
Days of ill ease, souls shielded by the past,
Lessons taught, swords cultivated the fields,
Cote-armours well-placed to protect and last,
All this unseen by the world, yet she wields...
Side by side, sharing efforts in this life,
Guiding those wandering souls to the shore,
Days of gentle hearts for to see through strife,
Yet she wields the armour well-placed before.
Coated souls, leading others o'er hills vast,
Trodden days, lessons exerted, hopes yield,
Journeys taken by sails raised upon mast,
Cote-armours well-placed before, now are peeled.
Earnest endeavors, transformed from the rife,
Innocent souls yearning to learn, want more,
Hands held long, gentle hearts helping through life,
Lending the way, opportunities door.
Days of ill ease, souls shielded by the past,
Lessons taught, swords cultivated the fields,
Cote-armours well-placed to protect and last,
All this unseen by the world, yet she wields...

I am, of course, linking this post over at Magpie Tales for this prompt #58 (a truly inspirational photo). To see others' takes on this prompt, click here.
A special thank you to those who nominated me...
I would also like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to Jingle, Cloaked Monk, Verse in a Nutshell, Lolamouse and louisedouglas for their nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award. I am truly honored that you all would nominate me for this award, however, I feel at this time that my Blog needs to remain an Award Free location. Again, thank you for the nominations.

The scope of this is vast. Excellent.
A deep and textured tale - very nice!
Wow! This is an amazing piece of poetry. I found myself saying "Yes!" as I was reading it. Truly inspiring.
stellar prose. and thanks for your very nice comments.
This is wonderful.
Took me on a journey through time and space!
I like the rhythm and repetition of this--it is like a march through history. "yet she wields..."
Great magpie!
The phrase 'yes she wields' is a powerful one, great take on the prompt.
well wielded pen against the sword
Your lovely rhyming pattern gives such an ancientness to this piece.
I really like the reach I feel in this piece!
it flows well- (have you ever seen any 'Turner'
sea 'scapes ?) that mixed with a bit of dutch
street scenes, gives the timeless yet hopeful
flavor. Thanks.
Powerful woman, powerful poem!

Yes - keep that soul shielded. Great line.
Beautiful poem! I love your take on the prompt. :)
How magnificently you responded to the prompt. Beautiful.
Wow! I think you just defined 'epic'. What images you conjure with this lyrical poem!
A very fine write! Loved it :)
It sounds like an Opera Epic number.. very well done!

A wonderful resolve and courage depicted here.
The words just captivated me.
wonderful meter to your poetry, almost thruming like a battle drum. Pictures are such a great launching point for writing. Thanks for sharing with us.
...yet she weilds...this is beautiful! :-)
and through all that, yet she wields...a fitting en to quite the journey you took us one...
We are traveling the same path of thought...I love your magpie...
What a lovely piece. Is this a certain style of poetry, or your own design? Whatever...it was a delight to read.
there's a lot of depth here... sometimes it is the unseen that holds the most power.....
*sigh* Gorgeous!
a fine journey, indeed. And life kicks in quite often.. I missed my first Magpie (this one) since I started in October, I believe it was... If we don't take time out when life kicks into overdrive, we are forcing our writing. Which is never a good thing.
