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.

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.

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**

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.

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.
