Poetry and Troubled Souls

Many are the troubled souls, That have been eased, When a book of poems has found its way into mortal hands, Directed by a will that is open to look for and find, That one poem that speaks to them, and them alone Crying out to them, in their suffering and pain. A poem powerful enough, To give meaning to a life that was once worthless, And carry them past the bad times. A poem that writes itself upon the heart for as long as it beats, That attaches itself to the very soul, Becoming the focal point for all future transactions, And colours one's world for the better, Giving Hope and Love, a better than an even chance.

Such a true writing. Writing poetry, too, is good for troubled souls. When I random read the poems on this site, I am astonished at the emptying of sad hearts.

I sometimes feel I am writing poetry for a particular poem to touch one person somewhere for the better. Thank you for comments which are astute. Regards David

I was never a poetry fan until I picked up my pen when my hubby had cancer surgery and writing /reading has got me through the most difficult times of my adult life. I can relate to your poem on many levels , although I only really read poems on soup and not in books unless written by a souper:-)hugs Jan xx

Yes, the soup is pretty special. All genuine stuff written for pleasure rather than just to feed an ego, and all seem greatful for opportunity to post on soup. All the best David.
