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?

For Fun and Health

Everyone, these days, is afraid of getting a huge gut. 😊 And of course we all understand why, right? Well, huge stomachs, unless you are pregnant, are associated with poor health, right? Sometimes when I'm walking on the road, and I see people with huge stomachs, I wonder how they got those really, big bellies.  I have heard that drinking a lot of beer regularly can cause you to get a big belly. I have heard eating late at nights, and then going to sleep does the same thing. Even lack of activity is said to be a culprit. And maybe these are all legitimate causes. But recently, I discovered another culprit for a big gut. I bet you will never guess what. Seriously, you would never think about this one. Let me give you some time to wrack your brain 😁😁😁😁😁😁. Here it is.....your belly is full of sh_t. Yep. It appears that if you haven't done a detox, especially a colon cleanse in a while, your intestine is packed, and loaded with all that excess baggage.  If you have a tummy,...

You are Special

What makes something valuable? Scarcity. Why? Because if something is not easily found anywhere, it is rare and therefore worth more than what is commonly or easily found. It’s just like diamonds or a rare coin, because it is hard to find, it is valued. Things are even more valuable when they are one of a kind . Now suppose you made something very unique, so unique, there was no other thing like it. And suppose you loved it very much, because it was beautiful or very useful. Would you throw it away? Would you allow this thing that is the only one  of its kind to disappear forever? Would you not try to save it? Would you not try to keep it from being lost? Wouldn’t you protect it? You are valuable. You are one of a kind . You are so unique, the re is no other like you in any form, anywhere . Your DNA is original; not a copy of anyone else. And your designer, God, does not like copies and that’s why you are not a copy. And this is why you are valuable to him , and h...
