Healing Poems - Poems about Healing

Light
She walks in rooms where silence hides it face, Not loud, but warm-a hush, a golden thread. She touches cracks that time cannot Lace, And brings back truths that long ago were dead. She melts the ices that wraps around the Insides, And stands where fear and shadow still reside. A flicker dressed in silver–soft she Greets, No sword,...

Shadow and Fire
I crawled through years where night fell fast, where dawn was a rumor, faint and far. Each day was a climb up a crumbling wall, every step swallowed in shadows, and the weight of the world bore down, pressed hard— its whispers sharp, relentless. Hope would come, a flicker, then fade, a candle swallowed by each unkind wind. I’d chase it like breath,...

Elegy for the wounds that raised me
I do not know if I fear you, thank you, or hate you for hanging round. I fear I'd been somebody else who stands on solid ground. I thank you, cause you made me this, but I hate the reasons why. I fear it might just free my soul when you finally say goodbye. I hate you...

glow leftbehind
There is an incandescent glow in the “not to know”, Like sprinkler mist on my secret garden. There is a horribly beauty in leaving it as is. No knife to be turned in your back again, just leave it and watch your body grow around … To leave a tiny scar where an innocent pain...

In Stars Above
Written June 17, 2025. Title: “In Stars Above.” Contest: This or That, Vol 34. Sponsor: Edward Ibeh. They say stars are dead things, light still traveling from a time before love undid me. I stare at them anyway. As if answers live in burning ghosts. He touched me like I was holy— then left like I was haunted. I called it devotion. But it was ruin dressed...

After the Ghost
Form: Englyn Unodl Union I touched a shadow and called it a flame, It smiled — but was the same. My scars whispered his name. Love left, but I still came. ...

Premium Member You Are More Than Your Wounds - A Whisper of Strength
Pain refines, but grace restores. This is the whisper of strength. There are days when the world feels heavy, when the echoes of yesterday press against the walls of today. You walk forward, yet the past lingers like a shadow . . . a silent presence reminding you where you’ve been. But hear this: You are not bound by...

I Know That Silence
I know that silence you hold in your chest, The scream behind smiles, the ache in your rest. Where love means walking a thin wire line, And his “I’m sorry” feels like a red warning sign. I know all the lies and the secrets you hide— what would they say if the truth got outside? You map every bruise like it’s...

The Silence Beneath the Flame
For ten long years, I left no trace— No words, no cries, no names to blame. But now the silence stirs again, And finds its shape beneath the flame. They whispered truths that weren’t mine, And carved in air what never was. Not once they knocked, nor saw within— They spoke in masks, without a pause. Their eyes were fog, their voices sharp, Their...

Faithful Echoes of Love
I’m standing on the deck, coffee in hand, Three dogs by my side as the rain comes to land. No thunder, no lightning—just a warm, gentle fall, To nourish God’s botany, soft blessing to all. The morning, she rises—I watch the rain fade, Serenity spills from the colors God made. As the light is revealed, it quiets my mind, A rare little...

Ashes Where Heaven Should Be
Is heaven real? Maybe. Or maybe it’s just another myth— like love that stays, like people who mean what they say, like pain that disappears when you’ve earned enough of it. They say everything happens for a reason. But all I see is the bleeding you have to call “growth,” and the silence you have to pretend is peace. God, I loved. With everything I had. With parts of me I...

Still I Rise Again
I have walked through the hush of goodbyes, where silence roared louder than grief, where memories clung like shadows, and love became a thief. I lost not just them, but parts of me— echoes of laughter, pieces of light. My soul wore mourning like a second skin, and daybreak blurred into night. I reached for hands that let me fall, poured love into a...

Premium Member BURN THROUGH THE WALL
Are you still left wondering what is holding you back? What continues to keep you floundering in pain and lack? What could possibly have the power to hold you down? So completely covered in emptiness, you fear you will drown. Is it the dark past mistakes you have carelessly made, Keeping you troubled and in confusion, in tears and afraid? What...
