The Shaman and the Hero

Steve Goldenfort

The Shaman’s life lonely, troubled since youth. 
Seeing through lies, means speaking the truth. 

 

The knowledge of both sides, time and again. 
Repeating of patterns, understanding of zen. 

 

The more that you know, the higher you go. 
When all is in place your perception will grow. 

 

Traveling by foot, many years spent alone. 
Forgetting oneself is the shaman’s keystone. 

 

Our Hero’s past life has been slowly washed away. 
Unable to show faith, or be a part of the fray. 
 


Growing in strength, she filled all with fear. 
Repelling their lies, had her trust disappear. 

 

All she struck down, had nowhere to hide.
Igniting her rage from the wrongs felt inside. 

 

The Hero had learned, what the Shaman held dear. 
People are afraid of those having no fear. 

 

Be true to yourself wiping worries away. 
Changing perceptions to find the middle way.
