Write To Heal

Write To Heal

Cylindrical implement, carefully chosen, colour, texture, weight.
enabling creative ability, a source of life for all.

Seemingly simple tools, in the right hands, pen and paper
create new life, in reader and writer,
pausing upon the truth within the words.

Squiggles, marks made upon the page
conceal escape from the ravages of the mind
daily ambush of fear, anxieties and hate
demons hiding in far flung dark places
waiting to devour the soul, robbing precious lives
snuffing out passion, scarcely existing, waiting to die.

Salvation delivered through a river of black ink
seeping upon crisp white paper
blood almost oozing within the text,
revealing pain, visible to all.

Deep healing begins, slowly, drip, drip,dripping
each word salving pain, a balm
much needed relief for tortured minds,
tentatively experiencing long desired peace.

Sharing words, intimately sharing life
reflecting self, discovering faith, re-discovering life
words connecting deeply, a gift, a talent from above.

The pen, the instrument of faith.
