{POEM} The Gift of Atonement

Poetic Healing

How to right the wrongs
Of dreams gone past,
Of loves lost,
And decisions made
In hazy, fear-filled rooms of youth

How to set right the path
That leads all memories to you,
All transgressions filed
In the waiting cabinet of pain

Locked away until that day
When you come forward to drink the wine,
And reach into the darkness
For hope

Those dreams not lost on darkness’ shelf,
But rather unimagined,
Into a space only accessible through the heart,
Only healed through the gift of atonement

Daily Bliss – December 17

Daily Bliss

The Angels remind us that when we can’t find rest, we can offer atonement for all that plagues our hearts and minds, and in that space, we may find peace.

Purging

Poetic Healing

Woman hand holding sparkler outdoors

What are you purging,
What need not be part of you anymore
That it so forcefully releases
Like fireworks in the night sky
Within the heart of your own being?

What pain can you let go,
What ancient past emerging
Asks not to be still buried
But rather to be free,

Out of the cave of your belly
And into the light to be atoned
And disseminated
Its particles scattering to the Universe
Becoming the fodder for your growth
Instead of caged rebellion,
Becoming the light
Which feeds your soul
