Writing



I went to the place of reviving
 where blessings are easy to see,
 but I saw the place was invaded
 by some who demolish the ease.

 Take care not to allow anyone
 to trample your feelings of truth.
 We all fight the same battle:
 Maturing is abandoning youth.

 Take care also to be blameless
 of disrupting the place of release.
 Others may fill it with sadness
 but they walk away with such peace.

 Writing can be exorcism.
 It helps to digest and dispose.
 We cannot know anyone's battle
 no matter what words may disclose.

 If sadness is left in the garden
 Soon it will be overcome.
 Wisdom comes after healing.
 This sanctuary is for everyone.

 So come to the garden with freedom
 Say all that is in your heart,
 knowing you may find your healing,
 and peacefully you may depart.
