Novitiate

narrative verse

Novitiate.

 

The healer concentrates her will

 and bids her busy mind be still.

 She taps into the energy

 forever full and flowing free.

Which she directs to those in need.

 

She a talent she must use.

She would be foolish to refuse.

But she is wise enough to know.

That such talents ebb and flow

and that sometimes she won’t succeed.

 

She seeks out others of her kind.

Because she knows that wills combined

will multiply the power they raise.

Each adding in their different ways.

She is quite willing to concede.

 

A group works more efficiently

 directing power selectively

Than any healer on their own,

 though some prefer to work alone.

But she prefers someone to lead.

 

Aware her powers are limited.

 Although she hopes in years ahead.

When she develops more control

that she can play a greater role.

The time will come when she can lead.

 

But until then she is content

 to try and nurture her talent.

Because she fully understands

 that healing places great demands

 Each healer learns at their own speed.

great observation. With this talent also comes humility. And cost.
