Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

My Go To Therapy

Healing and restorative 
encompassing tears and pain
expressing these emotions
slowly mends my heart again

Like nectar from the honey bees
secreting through my veins
restores my equilibrium 
releasing me from chains

Sporadic ebb and flow
as I yearn for you and me
Now it’s time to write my poetry
my go to therapy

Caren Krutsinger April 27, 2019 at 2:36 AM I am a licensed therapist, and poetry and painting are my go-to therapies also, Ann. Ann Gilmour September 29, 2019 at 5:37 AM Yes, I think it is the sheer escapism that does it for me - it just takes me to a other place. Thanks for your visit Caren. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Gordon Mcconnell April 19, 2019 at 3:06 PM Such a fine write Ann, showing lovely rhyme and flow too. I can empathise with you as writing poetry has been wonderful therapy too for me giving the opportunity to speak out what emotions lie down deep inside especially help me cope with my stammer when I tell it out in that regard. Have a blessed Easter, Blessinga always, Gordon Ann Gilmour April 20, 2019 at 7:01 AM Bless you dear Gordon for your lovely comments. Yes poetry can take us to a much happier place when life becomes challenging, although sometimes I want to stay - must be the Piscean in me! Happy Easter to you and yours Gordon, with kindest thoughts Ann xx
