The Way to Heal

She says come back to me, river running deep 

Let me be your ocean

Your peaceful night's sleep

Remember where you came from


Let yourself flow, love

Cry it out, take your course, and don't judge

I'll be your listening ear to your trickling rush

Your beauty that explains itself


You speak of the universal life 

That runs through everyone

You are connected to all, to Mother's veins

Which move with a wisdom learned from various pains

You are the same


Let me take a step back and decipher

Breathe into my heart what I'm trying to find through this

Passion through poetry

Freedom in art


I always thought raw emotion should precede the stanzas

Still, this seems mostly cerebral

Does this come from origins ethereal?

From a source I will one day get to remember?


Maybe this is the way to heal.
