A Healing Heart

Healing.

The wounds are still fresh

And stir overwhelming pain

That comes from sudden thought

Set free from a beatless heart.


Memories take their places

To perform their graceful dance

That fills a restless heart with peace

With movements full of life.


Take in the sweet medicine

That leaves a sour taste

Remains of reminisce

A whole new wave of pain.

Yet it flourishes a temporary smile

With the deceiving taste it gives

Until it flows down to the heart

And turns sour with one touch.


With time it becomes tasteless

But a tiny smile remains

Nothing but remembrance

Memories without the pain.

Healed.

Author's Note

My friend just got out of a relationship and he's pretty torn up about it. I was thinking about him and wrote this.

when some one you love tares you apart its a overwelming pain in the heart. we question ourselves sometimes hard on yourselves confused scared so many emotions are there.Once we deal with it head on and face the reality by the grace of God our lives become better. we learn from our mistakes we made and theres always reasons for things that happen to us we may not understand at that time but it makes us stronger for whatever comes next.It wasn't meant to be and the right one will come.

What a fantastic poem illustrating pain and love and memories and healing. Beautifully written and different...
..."Take in the sweet medicine

RX:

Take two pills of time, twice a day for 10 days
Take one heaping spoon of memory every day, for life

Get well soon!

A very nice, descriptive poem of healing. That point when the pain subsides and all we are left with is the memories.

My son's girlfriend just broke his heart so I can relate to the subject ( its happened to me too) I like the way you express that there is a time frame for the healing to take place, but when it happens to you it seems that time is standing still. Great to find you guys again Rita, Good writin.....Blessings,Carl
