Healed

About anxieties...

Healed

Let me hold you

rest in these words

for just a moment

and fear nothing.

 

Your heart is wild

I can feel it racing

sensing the urgency

yet you stand frozen.

 

There now

feel the panic slip away

try your once broken wings

a little wobble is normal.

 

You are not meant to be kept

neither are you meant to fly away

you are always within this sanctuary

step forward without fear.

Sing your love

for you are not a dumb beast

boldly cry out your truth

bathe in the echo of your voice.

Author's Note

Just a little thought I put together after a lunch time conversation today. I hope it helps.

When we remember who we are. Superb penning.

[David Scott]

Thank you for reflecting back to my my thoughts and for reading.

[wordman]

well I enjoyed the read reminds me of a free spirit a woman not yet ready to be captured
or held down that will visit at her will

[David Scott]

Interesting view Ron. Thank you for the visit.
Be well.

Healing is one of the great surviving aspects of the body, mind and heart. Words, prayers, forgiveness, letting go of negative emotions, living healthy lifestyles can impact our healing and its speed of recovery. Excellent poet...:).....

[David Scott]

I agree Sami. Thank you for reading.
I wonder if we must always be "healing" or can we at some point and time claim the power of being "healed"? Rhetorical question... ;)

[Sami Khalil]

In the awareness of the power of healing , we can indidualize our choices or points. Once we know the Source, it is then with the will of being healed that applies. The powet is within where The Great Spirit should reside. I believe a spiritual healing is more effective on all others. Thank you kindly....:).....

[David Scott]

I like your response. We understand each other well I think.

[Sami Khalil]

Thank you kindly again...:)........

[MsJewel]

Your words are soft and soothing...heartfelt and touching....like a warm hug on the coldest night.
Stunning poetry David. Going into my favs.

:) Julie

[David Scott]

:) Smiling...
Thank you Julie. Your poetry generally reads with a comforting tone as well. I am so happy I was able to communicate a "warm hug". This was in fact my true intention, to comfort a encourage a dear friend.

How fragile is the heart of those of us who have been abused. Fear can be so paralyzing, overwhelming, and devastating.. Sometimes we need that tender, patient, understanding attention of someone who genuinely cares. It is a process, one that will be "wobbly" at first, but easier with time and assistance. This hit me hard this morning. I'm not sure if it is because I can relate, but was powerful nonetheless.

[David Scott]

It is interesting how you saw the connection to understand this poetry.
We are healed now... Let us fly these wings rather than worry our scars...
Sore!
Thank you for reading and really "seeing" this poetry.

[AprilRN1210]

I always try to leave honest, genuine reviews on what I read. I take what I "see" and how I feel and give the writer my opinion.. I mean that is what we are here for correct?

Sometimes those scars weigh so heavily upon us we cannot fly without help...

You're welcome.. This one "spoke" to me in such a powerful way I couldn't help but comment.

[David Scott]

Yes, this is mostly how I review as well. Every poem has a "story" behind it. Few really see the subtext. This poem was my way of helping others fly...
Thank you again.

[AprilRN1210]

I think few care enough to look... most of the time, it is right there staring you in your face, or speaking to your heart... you're welcome (again)

[John Anderson]

Your delivery on this poem was very powerful. Very nice job.

[David Scott]

Thank you John. I usually "deliver" teeth for extraction ...

[Patricia]

Your heart is wild....sensing the urgency...I just love them!!!!

[David Scott]

Well, of course it is wild... ;)
Thank you Patricia.

[Patricia]

Your'e welcome David. :)

[Ruth]

Stunning! And thank you for the beautiful respite x

[David Scott]

You are one who has healed much over the last two years Poppy. I have seen it. I have experienced it in your writing by topic and style. I think so many of my friends here have inspired me with this thought process. Shall we continue to heal together in this life? I hope so.
Thank you for your kindness to read and review my writing today Poppy.

[Ruth]

So welcome love and yes...been a haul...but when that shimmer of light seeps through, we owe it to ourselves and others to at least attempt to heal. I shall continue to help others, always...pleasure to read you today love x

[kublakhan27]

The last line really knocked it out of the park...this is an eloquent piece of soul-searching that speaks volumes to the therapy and salvation that a loved one can provide...love this one :)

[David Scott]

Thank you for your kind words Khan. Sometimes we are the bird and sometimes we are the cage. Maybe very often we are both.

[Horizon K.]

This is the way you can love someone, I think... Let them know that they are free, to stay in this sanctuary, or if they choose, to fly away, but could always return to this place to roost... It is a gift, a healing of the heart, to give someone the freedom to be themselves with the knowledge that you would love them anyway ... This is the message I see in this beautiful piece...

[David Scott]

Thank you Horizon. Yes, what you see is much of my heart in these words. Another key element is helping the subject realize they are capable and able to avail themselves to their own power and potential to enjoy the freedom. How often do we sit in the cages of our past when the cage door is wide open...?
I love your thoughts and thank you deeply for your comments.

[Horizon K.]

The cage door is wide open... I like that thought...
