THY HEALING BREATH

                   With a heart so pure,filled with love, he does heal,

Pain and suffering taken away, a gift given, a miracle.

With energy so strong and a powerful feeling for life,

From within his being, coming out is a healing touch.

The hurt and agony is felt by this man in his heart and mind,

This misery and fear he’ll take from you into his own body.

With his breath he’ll Inhale the sadness and death from you,

The cancer and ugliness of the world he’ll exhale and blow out

Into the wind away from the good that lies within.

Thought to be bad but in reality a good man judged badly,

Who is he you could not understand,

                                 Thy healing breath lies in this man.

  1. I really like this, and can kind of relate in personal ways. I love really unusual and interesting poems like this. I like a ton of writing styles, and this one has an interesting post-modern feel to it. Thanks for writing in such a wide variety of styles, you do so very well. It’s the kind of writer I aim to be myself, not having a single style or gentre that defines my writing. I really like haiku, but with that I like to defy the conventional haiku format and sometimes write haiku sets that have multipe haikus make up a single poem. You and a guy named Paul L. are by far my favorite living male poets, and are really inspiring with how many poems you guys post in a single day. I don’t always read every single one you guys post because of stuff going on in my life taking up time and energy, but I really look forward to reading both of your posts. Glad we are becoming friends Keith, in the past I had such a poverty of creative friends, and I am glad I have a really worthwhile one in you now. Yeah my girlfriend is really creative, but it’s cool having a guy friend who is really creative too. I have had a tendency to walk away from friendships after awhile, and from online communties when things get difficult for me, and I have had some difficult times since opening this account, and with some people on wordpress, but for the first time I can remember, I have stayed the course and not withdrawn from an entire community. I didnt want to just walk away from friends like you, though I did unsubscribe from a few people on here I had started to make frienships with, cutting ties with some, and did need a little space from everyone for awhile, but I didn’t pull the plug on my blog like I did in 2005/2006 when some people were doing the same kinds of things some were doing again. Thanks for not being like how the friends I unsubscribed to were being Keith, and thanks for being real with me in our conversations. It means a lot to me 🙂
