A Brighter Path

Poetic Healing

On this day, I purge the grief
Which so hauntingly stole
My younger years,
Disguised as busyness and misdirection,
The fear of loss so great
That I could not move forward,
Clinging to a past that no longer existed
Even in my mind,
Thinking I was living in today
Yet without the constant stream of freshness
To cleanse the words of yesterday
And make way for more tomorrows,
That stream stagnant for so long
Finally loosened by words buried deep,
Expressions of the love I could not speak
Yet was always at the ready
To spill from frozen lips,
These words, not just for me
But for all who’ve lost,
All who grieve,
All who seek a better way,
A brighter path to live today

{POEM} The Knowing, Growing Way

Poetic Healing

These days
I’m gonna fall,
Sink right into the place
Where my heart dares not go,
Gonna open myself
To the knowing,
To the growing,
So that my life,
My world
Can show me a better way

If I listen,
If I fall
Into the quiet moments
I can hear,
They will show me
The knowing, growing way,
The way of peace,
The path of love,
The place where my heart
Fully longs

For me
For my world
For all time to come
