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.

Sing your love

for you are not a dumb beast

boldly cry out your truth

bathe in the echo of your voice.

When we remember who we are. Superb penning.

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

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...:).....

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.

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...
