Touch

Touch

57d020e6.jpgWriting became  a perfect medium for me to define trauma in my own way.  Oftentimes, I didn't even know I was writing about trauma--just sharing a story or poem.  Below provides worded images of self-healing, I believe...



Touch, I say, it will not hurt;

for now has come tomorrow.

Touch, I say, reach fingertips;

not fists so hard & hollow.

Touch, I say, don’t tremble so;

don’t hide down in the corner.

Touch, I say, oh, little one;

for I am not the horror.

*

Touch, I say, come on, reach out;

the nightmares go and sorrow,

will touch, I say, the hearts

of those around you.

Reach, hold tight, and don’t let go;

a hug is soon to follow.

Touch, I say, and you will find,

that now has come tomorrow.

Touching the heart of another...be it physically or through the energy of our words, speaks the language of the soul...when we give it in service to others, we heal our own wounded souls as well...Thank you for touching my heart today Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee;-)

You are laying down great marks Joyce, great marks because of your touch and ultimately they will be felt even more greatly by those who are in most need of this touch. May this poem reach those who feel most out of touch, for in reading this, I acknowledge that world which needs this touch most and which has most assuredly received yours. Such are marks left in time.
