Enlightenment Recovery

Enlightenment recovery is what some need
once they’ve faced a visit to ER.
Some go there with broken bones; some bleed.
And some may leave, yet always keep a scar.

For some – beyond the physical it goes.
Enlightenment recovery they need,
for visits to ER sometimes can expose
things from which the afflicted must be freed.

If bad habits are the things that lead
some to a hospital emergency,
enlightenment recovery is what some need.
They should heed this warning with urgency!
 
Maybe there are bad things folks have pursued
that cause their health to worsen with great speed.
Treat the body right. Also eat good food.
Enlightenment recovery is what some need.

Linda Alice Fowler October 26, 2022 at 7:07 AM Hey Andrea. This is a relevant write, especially in today's world where temptations are so flamboyant. Self-inflicted misery is so sad. ER treatment is needed to keep yourself focused and out of ER. ;) Fabulous write and congratulations on your win. Linda

Miranda Hawley October 24, 2022 at 10:38 AM I am thinking about this contest and haven't know what to do with the topic. You are pointing out that it is either physical, mental or a mix of both that could be the enlightenment recovery. Good luck with placing on this.

Victor Buhagiar October 24, 2022 at 3:50 AM You are always writing in contests and hoping for the best. I shy away from them. But then your poems are always original. Andrea Dietrich October 24, 2022 at 7:26 AM I am not doing well in contests these days, so I have to try every single one.

Sotto Poet October 23, 2022 at 3:43 PM This is a wonderful poem, ANDREA, and it contains some excellent advice. Your perspective on healing is really practical, and it demonstrates a great deal of knowledge on your part. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
