Something to Think About:
How Writing Can Help You Heal

I wrote previous posts encouraging readers to use writing as a tool to heal from hurt. I'm going to share a few of my poems that demonstrates this use of writing. Even reading other's writing is therapeutic, so I hope this helps too. Maybe when you read my work and see what I have been going through and have overcome, it will inspire you to fight on.



Freedom

Watching the ships set sail is like
hearing a trumpet sound
and wondering if it’s the End;
the Apocalypse.
Anxiety becomes my bread.
How do such great and heavy things stay afloat in waters?
Where is God now?

Watching the ships set sail is like
toasting bread in an oven,
the heat pervades the air, crushing the moisture from the slices
laid like a Lamb to the slaughter,
the Saviour rests.
Where is God now?

Watching the ships set sail is like
watching my life elude me;
like a string caught in a sudden net
and finds itself being pulled away to somewhere unknown
fear and confusion sucking it away.
I need salvation.
Where is God now?


Here is another poem.


A Saving

Seeping, sinking, saving
lifting, carrying me into something
heaving me over and into a drifting
helping me to see something burning
a light that is still shinning,
lighting the way ahead of me.

Swaying, sinking, sifting
Feeding me what I need to keep on breathing
I am here waiting for my turn to go dancing
Forever prancing, like a crazy humming bird flying
Not dying forever in silence.

Sweetening, shaking, soothing
me with a tune that continues capturing
my soul in a beautiful mourning
to mercy I wait here dreaming
hoping the light will take me home.


Tell me what you think I was concerned about.

Here is another poem.


What Lack Does


Life waits for me,
penniless.
I sit with pen in hand,
ironic, life treats the penned hand bitter,
not better;
broke and still living in what they deem a ‘bliss’
in paradise Jamaica I sit
wondering,
when will I start living?

Something to Think About

What is Wrong with  Wrong ?         We hear about  sin , we hear about wrong doing, we hear about criminality and all liked terms. Maybe you've even heard of one that I have never heard. Sin is a term used from a moral or religious perspective to define unacceptable states or behaviours. Criminality, on the other hand, just as unacceptable, is defined by established laws, which also encompass moral issues. But why is wrong wrong?        If I should bite you now, what would happen to you? If I should bite you because I hate you, what would happen to you? If you should bite me back, what would happen to you and I? What would happen to us? Wrong doing/being, sin, crime, all these things hurt other people. It hurts us all; it hurts the people who experience it and it makes the ones who do these things worse.  Wrong doing and wrong being does not cause peace. It does not encourage patience, or love, or joy. It creates an...

The Trade Off

What are you gaining or losing?  Every decision we make in life is a trade off. This is because we are always gaining or losing something, and even both. Sometimes what we gain is more than what we lose. However, it can also be that you lose more than you gain. Let’s say you chose to stay up at nights and play your favorite game.  It gives you pleasure, and you get to feel quite satisfied passing the levels and getting the gems, and the money in the game. But overtime, the trade   off is bad health, poor memory from a lack of sleep, aches and pains from your body not repairing at nights, crankiness from the lack of rest. It might even become more detrimental when you're making decisions. If you examine the end result that is an awful trade - you traded your health for a few hours of fun! When you were playing the game at nights, this never crossed your mind, and if someone came to you and offered the pleasure of the game in exchange for your health, you probably would nev...
