Healed

Healed

A Poem by David Scott
"

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.

Very nice piece. To embrace who you truly are and shed off the facades, I feel alot of our anxieties would fade. We could be honestly happy, or not. Love this.

I liked the poem. The flow of thoughts took the reader in and held them.
"Sing your love
for you are not a dumb beast
boldly cry out your truth

The above lines were my favorite. We need to listen to our inner thoughts. Thank you David for sharing the excellent poetry.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts...
Healing is never entirely over.. but maybe the memories of how life was given back, how hope re.appeared - teaches a wonderfully wonderful lesson: that being lost in dark shadows isn't the end. To help someone or to be helped, helps make a person find what's been missing - can be anything, everything.

Sorry, too busy spouting off, i failed to comment about the way you've laid thoughts in front of self and reader: gently philosophical, firmly down to earth, ' .. You are not meant to be kept - neither are you meant to fly away .. '

Your words are - individually, simple, but the sum total of them is incredibly moving.

There are times in all of our lives that we need a certain healing... and it seems you were awakened to the needs of another. May we all find ourselves reaching out to those in need, and healing the hearts of those around us...

Yes, and these awakenings heal us as well.
Thank you for reading Craig.
I can remember plenty of times where my heart was racing with fear and or anxiety and I was literally frozen in my shoes. It can be difficult when something or someone can suddenly put you in a position where you are stuck with fear. Awesome piece David.

Hello fellow poet. Thank you for the review.
Now, this is wonderful. Anxiety abounds/probably will always be somewhere in our mind. You're imagery was beautiful. The comfort, the assurance and security given is something we all need and desire. Thank you.
