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.

 

Play

Work

Explore

Create

 

Sing your love

for you are not a dumb beast

boldly cry out your truth

bathe in the echo of your voice.

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

Well done, David. Just stopped by and wanted to say hello. Finding time to visit is like pulling teeth. Sorry, couldn't resist it.

You truly leave an imprint on every heart you touch.... such a wonderful thing to cherish!

This is no ordinary thought, Sweet Unicorn... these are words of comfort for a caged soul.

Your comments are uplifting to me as well.

A little thought? Really? If I were the subject of said poem, I would be smitten. This is a fantastic write, and it is subtly romantic, but very loving. A great poem.

[David Scott]

...ahh... Thank you KL. You are kind to me. I do hope this thought helps others experience their own healing.

[Jennie Baron]

I don't have much to add to the reviews below, David, but I just happened on this one and it struck an emotional chord with me, and isn't that the hallmark of a good poem? I had to let you know. It is indeed comforting and inspirational.

[David Scott]

I agree with you. Thank you giving me the feedback. I'm happy this write was relatable.

[Lydia Shutter]

OH MY...the comforting nature of this poem drew me in between the lines. There is such love, such empathy, such caring in ever line! People do not trust in themselves enough. This poem is like a booster shot of self-esteem, David. Absolutely wonderful work. Lydi**

[David Scott]

Thank you Lydi. I wrote this poem feeling a deep sense of caring and empathy. I'm happy the mood translated well in the writing.

You make a wonderful point that healing and the subsequent flight goes much faster when words of encouragement create a feather bed of peace and friendship.

[David Scott]

Thank you for giving me encouraging feedback Blue. You are very kind to do so.
I enjoy hearing your voice.

[Zahra]

This is so beautiful and inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

[David Scott]

Thank you dear poet. I see you already knew you have a voice. ;)
Thank you for sharing your voice with me today.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Such an empathetic voice in this, it resonates with strength and understanding. Wonderful write.

[David Scott]

Thank you heroic poet.
This was for a friend and a lesson to myself as well...
We need to find the courage not only to heal, but to fly again when the healing has come to us...

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

And you convey that message in perfect pitch.

[David Scott]

Ha... I am glad you hear the music. :)
Thank you once again. You are kind.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i feel the compassion of a friend in this poem...

kind of saying, find sanctuary in my words, as i find in yours...and we will sing our love for one another boldly...

nothing like poetic friends for comfort...they understand.

[David Scott]

You always see through me well Jacob. It is good to know my intentions are recognizable.
Thank you very much for reading and reviewing everything I post. You are a constant source of support.

[Blue]

I read this in haste at first (because I had to eat lunch) and quite didn't get it. But when I came back and slowed down my reading pace, I I found comfort in this poem, David. Soothing, tranquil... I love the last stanza where you stated "boldly cry out your truth/bathe in the echo of your voice". It's powerful and uplifting.

[David Scott]

Thank you Arzel.
You did see the power here... Good. To loose our fears we need to feel empowered.
