The Healers of Ecuador

The Healers in Ecuador Ecuador lush greens, and iguanas galore The smell of the Hibiscus so sweet they implore The hunches of folk maidens found in books Adventures in paradise; listening to brooks Healing the soul from whence it came Releasing the bondages from deadly games The essence of breath found in the jungle untamed. The healers explored vast botany ignored Within the person the pilgrims restored Instead of a pharmacy excepting a bribe Drops from lush plants heal souls that subscribe And, hope soars as the eagles proclaim, The Boehme folk maidens brushed them and gently lay claim Healing for anyone without any shame Thanking The Earth for royal bounties it shares Requesting in return to replenish its’ ware This poem is dedicated to Ingrid Neiman and Dr. Induli "The Healers of Ecuador" By Bonnie Jennings

Thank you, Francis... May I ask where you are from? If I cross your boundary of being to personal, then please understand, I'm just curious about your accent. I'm not sure where your from... Thanks for the lovely comments... By the way this poem is written for Ingrid Naimen who is a healer in Ecuador..
