Universal Healer

For the CREATIVE POETRY group.

She plucked at the medicinal flowers
from the long thin stocks and leaves
The woods around her were relaxing
tranquil and full of peace
She rose with her wicker basket
full of holistic herbs
Time to return to her cabin
and prepare for a healing
Her harmonic crystals
and massage were her treatment
for all ailments
Yes, she was a very successful
and universal healer
very much sought after
As she moved through the forest
her natural element
she shimmered like an ethereal creature
a child of enchantment and magic
a child of nature
she was here and yet she wasn't too

This is a great way to look at these words. In a time we have not lived, this woman, would have been considered a witch. Now we know for fact that many herbs, crystals and massage have healing property. This is a stunning write that has a relaxing feel and makes you wonder about the woman in the piece.

Very creative use with the words! Excellent story within this poem.

Very nice, very soothing. Draws one's thoughts back to a time when people lived closer tot he land and all the good and bad that went with it. A time we'll never understand.

Awesome poem harking back to the days when we were much closer to the land even though everyone didn't appreciate it. (Thinking of all the witch burnings and such.)

The plants can cure the body and the mind. I have research plants for 30 years. I like the poem. I believe a real herbalist have real vision of life and is one with the earth. I did like the ending to the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
