I went back and re read a few of your poems about the relationship that I think is why you are healing from grief. I even read a few of my reviews about your poems. I am sad, yet at the same time, I do respect your opening up that you are starting to heal. This new road , try to not bring back your past, or compare your past to the now. Free yourself, as you wrote slower to walk, but look at the time, it passes so quickly from our today, and we in a way still are doing nothing about. I pray that you do show your limbs to a stranger, my motto, is; for every happening there is a reason. Think about it, maybe this separation was for your own good. Hugs Terry.

Good morning Terry,
Thank you for embracing 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, 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".
Thank you, my friend, for your compassion and your empathy. I am honored that you shared your very kind words. Your beautiful spirit shines throughout your entire heartfelt note. I will always remember your very important wise and guiding words.
Peace, hugs and lots of smiles
Jill

This was just lovely. I love the flow of your poem and the meaning behind it. Its very uplifting and moving. I walk a little slower, no need to hurry the journey, that's my favorite line. Great job

My condolences to you and yours. I lost my grandfather a couple of years ago to Alzheimer's. We were also very close. I remember shaving with him when I was six, he always gave me a razor without the blades so I could feel like a grown up. I also remember he never swore(until the end when senility started to kick in), he was always very proper and when he got angry he would always say 'A-sa-ma-sa'. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful piece, the review would have been longer except I was on my cell so I kept it succint.

This was an excellent read for me! Thank you for your contribution. I loved your phrasings here:
This barrel of grief once
hollow
black
without
floor or perch
frightens me a little less
with
each rung of the climbing out
Well done.......keep up the groovy work (-_-)!

After an uphill climb beaten by grief, the downhill walk maybe new and precipitous but the vista of the world in the valley beckons, the ground may be unfamiliar but it can be won with slow and sure steps and with someone on our side to make the journey a healing magic. This is the message captured in your poem. god bless.

A journey begins with one step and a journey out of grief, to face the light without fright, is a long one rung by rung. Like all the lights YOU have summoned to light your path. Take your time. You will get there. Bend like the willow and heal. Love the last stanza. Whether you realize it or not, it is full of hope.

A very nicely-written poem. I had to read it a few times over in an effort to interpret, and I enjoyed the effort. A climb upward from grace and grief to a higher level of joy through majestic healing. Along the way you met with a stranger on the same climb who tempted you with his smile. You recognized his needs as yours and he knew it from your eyes. Ok, well I tried anyway:). It's beautiful, unique and well done:)
