Your words live in my thoughts Sometimes they delight and are invited to stay Other times they wound and I show them the door They feed my heart Nourish my soul and thoughts become my words flowing freely back to you When words harm they linger in my head slowly poisoning a bruised spirit And I cannot speak to you Instead I write my thoughts that spew forth like demons exorcised from my body So you might understand Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © in Response to Reena’s Exploration Challenge #153 Image by Irina Gromovataya from Pixabay

It does not matter
if my words are never heard
It's enough I spoke
Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing ©
The pen is my instrument
And life my mentor
An extraordinary journey
Questioning what’s in store
A burgeoning dream
To heal our pain
Writing about fears
Sheltering from the rain
Exorcising demons
With our blood for ink
Pulling me back
From teetering on the brink
We may heal ourselves
From the wounds of misery
The pen is mightier than the sword
and it inflicts no injury
