Best Healing Poems

your labored breathing
called out to me
and in my soul I knew
what needed to be done

I reached for the drum
to summon the spirits
called out to ancestors
and anyone who’d listen

gently tapping to the rhythm
of our beating hearts
united as one in a prayer
released to the universe

filled the silence...

The bleeding sunset lingers on her mind
as night approaches and the sky goes dark.
Her soul is restless; how it craves to find
some words of comfort which could leave their mark,

erasing heartache etched in grooves of tears
on ice-cold marble where lost dreams now dwell,
relief imploring from...

 In a hyacinth bed of seven stars,
winter fairies waltz in pearl elegance~
a token of faith engrossed amidst scars,
while skies drizzle rain in fruity essence.

Angel of sleep seeks through frost's icy thorn,
fallen feathers soar towards jasmine moon,
when lotus light within soul is reborn,
listen to the...

Music is my therapy, 
  
             and yet, confusion rewinds,

You abused me physically and mentally,
I believed I was everything you said.
I thought you had my back totally,
But my belief in you was hanging by a thread.

I was locked in a mental jail cell.
you were a warden of abuse,
our union together was pure hell.
You would...

When days are filled with dark clouds, when words can not console 
With heart and spirit frozen, sometimes you will lose control

The warm sunlight may fade; and tears roll over night into day
As the first bout subsides, then feelings get mixed in haste

I watched you...

cascading 
    over jutting rocks
      the melodious water
        of salvation
          cleanses my soul

The resounding renovation of the mind can be astounding.
With each breath I take I am but a soul yearning for redemption-
I now seek rejuvenation in the senses that healing brings.

        Can one learn how to live?

When you’re sick and you are reeling
Since with symptoms you are dealing
There is nothing more appealing
Than a “How you feeling?” note.

For while sickness has been stealing
Hours and days, it’s been revealing
Just who cares; there’s no concealing
Who forgot to cast a vote.

As your body starts its...

The plains people such as Lakota, Crow and Ojibwa
Spread throughout the Native American world
Who believe that the sickness is borne out of
The individual’s being out of harmony in life.

Witchery, sorcery, wizardry ways they heal it
Out of the three they prefer the witchery way
Corn pollen is...

We gape at the sky
this Fourth of July,
as rockets ignite
to deal us delight,
while strangers unite.

I’m such a dope,
it gives me hope
that Nations torn

Let God’s gifts
heal our rifts,
our esprit.

Let’s pray
we stay

free.

You chance upon her
in the far reaches of the backyard
a place you never go
and there she trembles  a tiny tiger in a blurred world 
secreted in shadows below blackthorn shrubs 

faint mews draw you closer
the power of her vulnerability
fills your veins with a pulse...

Believing in you is
Being just you, the simplicity of you
Embracing each twist and turn
Stepping outside the confines of your mind 
Revealing truths and bringing clarity in chaos
Engaging in the art of the here and now
Changing dark unnecessary innateness
Diving into each brushstroke, swaths of colorways 
Letting...

Little Girl

Know that you are always enough.
You are an intelligent being.
Beyond your imagination
You will learn to reach for the stars.
Daydream.
You can be anything you choose to be.
Dont forget.....
You came here, to this place, to experience a world of wonder.
Anything you can dream, is yours to...
