Beautiful poem & meaningful message. It's so hard to emerge from the depths of grief, I'm actually feeling skeptical about how glorious it could be, as you've described in your poem, if one is still climbing the rungs. I think many people healing from grief would find less joyfulness than you've depicted here. But it's a great & inspiring goal to shoot for! Good work!

Hello barleygirl,
Thank you for loving my poem "healing magic".
It has been just about two years since the death of my beloved grandmother. I am her first grandchild, born barely six weeks after the death of her own father, named for him in Hebrew, and born on her birthday. My mom-mom and I were incredibly close, connected still....mourning my mom-mom has been difficult and, at times, a lonely process for it seemed that every other member of my family had successfully "moved on". It is only now, that I finally have come to terms with her death, that I was able to craft "healing magic".
"beautiful poem....good work"
feels even more gratifying than it sounds!!
Peace, hugs and lots of smiles,
Jill

Sexual Healing, perhaps? Nice poem, Jill, about the depths of despair and the gradual return to normalcy ... with love as the drug.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
A very romantic and descriptive poem. Your first stanza is particularly good with good metaphor, referring to grief as a barrel, describing climbing out rung by rung as a steady climb and healing of the grief. Nice imaginative writing. Regards Dorothy

When I experience grief I feel sad and blue never black (each to their own). Well written, laid out well, easy read. Feeds the imagination.
Good post.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well crafted poem friend, grief is one of the hardest roads to travel but a necessary one unfortunately as crazy as that sounds :)

uptowngirlchef1961--This metaphoric write with its sober
theme of recovering from heartbreak, depression, loss
and dispair is uplifting. The ending is redeeming as
speaker/scribe/protagonist is getting better/and/or back
to normal. Hopefully, your writing serves as a cathartic
release. teafor2

Jill, missing our loved ones is only natural. I still miss my parents as much as I did, when they died years ago.
Their memories fill a huge hole in my heart.
Peace, hugs and lots of smiles,
the Duchess !(~_~)!

The art work is stunning. I loved the colors in it and the fact that you took the pain to match the background colors to it. I loved the poem for its rich word use. Didn't like much the font color. But it did not take away from the poem.

Comment from Gungalo
I bend like a willow
to show a fellow traveler
the grace of my limbs
and
the recognition in my eyes
this has the makings of healing magic...
And perhaps it has all the makings of real magic indeed. Wonderful write.
