Some say the ripping open makes a writer
the raw tearing and scars, but I prefer the gentle
movement of the leaves, the touch of a soft rain
on my face, and a turtle breaking
the smooth surface
of a pond.
A place of silence,
and the hearing of
my own breathing.
The poem is in the healing.

umn i don’t know what your mind is like,your thinking pattern but i think i can relate with this. it is one great piece. just like – love is not in the pain and ache you relate it with- its in the calm that follows , unless you’ve not had an encounter with it. and i think that’s what the meaning was like. was it?
Yes!! Something very close to what you have thought about it. We can look back at the scars and be inspired not by the pain, but the beauty of the healing. It is like the ocean after a storm. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! Peace to you.
it’s still a long journey till the peace shows up. still thanks for your wishes. much love.
Blessings
