starting over we write poems #27 healing

On the mending side of time …
All passes through glances
of sincerity - smooth voices
are captured with tone

Balanced:
Felt by some of those
looking for solace,
Healing areas once open,
maturating with rage

A tender hand comes across
to touch the injured soul
Kindness to one wronged
Healing has begun

  1. A beautiful, gentle poem. I particularly liked the final stanza.

  2. the overall effect is soothing. touch. I think that's why faith healers use the "laying on of hands"
    not entirely sure what you mean with " maturating with rage"

  3. Viv,
    Thanks and it still seems a bit rough to me.
    I think it needs some more work.

  5. Barb,
    I hadn't thought about the connection. I used the word "maturating" instead of "festering" which didn't seem to fit very well. I am not entirely happy with this, I believe it needs some work.

    Thanks. Why haven't you linked into the site?
    I really like what you said in the poem. It has a very human quality to it. We are here but to learn from our errors. Well, I believe that to be true.Pamela

  17. Judy thanks and that is so true.
    If we just take the time and give a little kindness, it can go a long way.
