Faith Healer Scribes

...who nurtures with hope

cares with conviction

cherishes dreams 

mends lost minds

remedies surrender


relieves hemlock of time

fills broken chalices

quenches thirst for belief


he or she is a faith healer

a fathomless feather

an ink pot of stories untold

who heals with faith

nurses from doubt

restores faith to heal


narratives change

fabulations retire

to the scrap-yarn 

of vanished mistrust

and the poet embraces

reliable emotions

for the sake of being

a surgeon of despair ...

Yes, poetry's words can heal by seeing that another feels the same emotions as oneself. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara
