Writing As A Form Of Therapy

[Maggie]

Thankyou @Silenus . I’ve been pondering on your words of wisdom. Very deep and meaningful. Hugs and hugs back to you. 💜💜💜

@Silenus I really enjoyed this poem it's beautifully crafted and very relatable. Keep up the good work.

[Silenus]

Thank you so much, @Imogen ... the connections we make with our words are so important...

My words to you,
Your words to me;
My words to me,
Your words to you...

Each of these dialogues and monologues help to shape us, by exploring who we are... the words we speak inside our heads are a large part of what makes each of us uniquely us... along with our emotions and our chaotic subconscious...

Much love and respect...

I feel the sting

I feel the pain

The dreaded fear 

Has come again

I cannot run

I cannot hide

It lurks within my body mind

I hardly see the one I was

Wrestling has come with quite a cost

No turning back

My path is set

But I would run

No need to bet

My words are now

Received by few

For I have now

A different view

I stand alone

I’ve drifted far

The wounds of life

I bear the scar.

[Former-Member]

cold smooth grey

strong solid hard

a hairline crack

barely noticable

with the naked eye

swaying gently

and with time

the crack grows

humid

little flecks

of water

slowly

eating away

the strength

within

no warning

no way 

to support

collapse

Hi @eth @Appleblossom @Maggie @Silenus @Sans911 @Former-Member @Imogen

So good to read your poetry. I find there is something about poems that seems to help us speak more deeply, possibly surprising even ourselves.

I am in a quiet time at the moment. But just wanted to stop in to say hi, and also to @Exoplanet.

Hugs to all.

@Mazarita  It’s nice to see your name pop up when you can.

Yes, I agree. Poetry, like music, goes deeper than other use of words. I don’t know why.

Sending some 💞💞💞💞💞

Hi @Silenus @Mazarita @Maggie @Former-Member @Imogen  and anyone else reading here.

In the beginning there was the Word

And the Word was the God

How would you live if your Word was your God?

[Maggie]

It might depend on what Word, or what God you understand, plus, where is the beginning? if there is a place for understanding spirituality @eth . A huge question, thought provoking.

Hey @Maggie Mags  I don't mean a god with a persona from any religion.  I'm def not christian myself, nor do I follow any particular religion or theory about when the beginning of the world/humans might have been.  I don't believe it's up to little me to define any of that stuff.  What I meant was if our word was actually what we valued as much as anyone values their concept of 'god'.  One friend of mine believes it means 'good orderly direction' ... each to their own with respect.  I'm just an old pagan myself!  Which to me just means a person of the earth.
