Girl, I'll tell you, your colours are hard on the eyes! Not an experience I'd want to repeat but I think I'd already lost half the vision in my left eye by the time I got half-way through it and I wasn't going to let that go for nothing.
So getting together in love, to show a 'fellow travelor the grace of my limbs and the recognition in my eyes this has the makings of healing magic." Now maybe you can use it to restore my sight. LOL!

Hello Adri7enne,

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".

Peace, hugs and lots of smiles,
Jill

p.s. I am awfully sorry that you had such a difficult time with the colors of font and background. It is especially kind of you to have persevered. Much thanks for that decision....

While reading this excellent free verse poetry, I could feel the beginnings of my grief ebbing away. The loss of my companion, the love of my life, my little dog crushed my heart and my spirit. I will never understand what made her to enter that dark country road(something in 13 months of living here that she never did) as I grieved hard. This poem is one that I will copy and frame it for me to read each day until I am free once more. Thank you for sharing this,,,,,,,Jim

This poem " Healing Magic " is a good commentary and philosophical poem written with a good choice of words to encourage someone who to come up from grief. A good theme with a good presentation.

And there is a bit of healing magic in the poem. As delicate as a fairy wing, your words and pictures brush against the tender skin of sorrow and come away with fairy dust and a hand up to the next rung. Nicely done. - Wendy

Jill,

The poem is lovely, and I need some of the soothing magic the story reveals. I like your ending...life is better when it is shared with others. Too often we find ourselves walking the road alone and sometimes lost. I enjoyed the poem and find it quite soothing.

This is a very beautiful poem. I can almost feel the healing magic myself. This makes me feel like there is still something wondrous in the world, and something to live for.

'Healing Magic.' The depths of grief can be very devastating. I have just experienced that first hand and I wasn't sure whether I could successfully recover. I'm still trying! Good poem.
