Healing the Past

Life, seemingly lost
Still feel the past before me
I can linger there too long
Hurtful pain starts there 
I cry to let it all out
I now search for healing touch

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/11/2011 12:01:00 PM The tears are a good form of catharsis, Russell. Writing about the pain seems to help a great deal too. I was very moved by your poem. Many people can relate to this desire to find a "healing touch." Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
