Poem Artwork

who heals the healer,
but his god and himself?

when my heart was broken
my spirit completely crushed
there was no person who could
bind up the deepest wounds

not father or mother
not daughter or brother
not friend

no consolation powerful
enough to lift grief
or dry desolate tears

and so i threw myself
into healing of others
healing hands guided
by the healing gift
entrusted to a damaged soul

some think i write about sex
i write about sexual healing

i write about embraces, kisses
for those who ache for love
having endured emptiness
brokenness and hopelessness

a state of acceptance
of what is what it is
and i cannot change it

healing myself, gradually
hoping to heal others
with healing hands
healing words, guided
by a recovering soul

Healing heart and healing hands go together like love and sex. I want to tell you that this is the first time I have been able to see the "real soul of this poet"...You have written a very amazing account of your state of being. Yes you heal yourself through many ways. Mostly by helping others through their darkness, we enable our souls to be lifted and healed..You have said so much DJ and I understand completely!

I wish you much peace, love, and angel healing light,
Amber

DJ, first I want to say it's a long time since I have been in your den...the writing peership's I make are important to me. I will never forget the day you spent your lunch hour with me to write your version of Jolene, my version still posted in my den. I want to thank you for a fun time that day a few years back...Heal Thyself State of Being is so in align of your true spirit...I continue to enjoy your sex and romance writing...they are strong and carefully thought out and tender in delivery...you're one of my favorite writers on this den, and although I'm out bein' a star and can't dedicate a whole lot of time to reviews anymore, know that you will always be an inspiration for me, Sage Sweetwater, Celebrity Firebrand Lesbian Novelist...Blessed Be.

Love,
Sage

Now here's a real lesson for all of us, DJ, and delivered without a scrap of self-importance or self-consciousness or boring sermon.
Take a bow, Sir, take several!
