This poem relates to the reader the cathartic power of poetry. It is through such experiences that poets (and others) can come to understand and appreciate very real and necessary stages through which we must all go if we are to successfully deal with pain, grief and personal loss. Whether our pain results from a wrong done to us, or results from the death of a loved one, the cleansing and redemptive power of poetry is not to be denied.
*When the words from my mouth* *Echo inside my soul* *And feelings locked deep inside* *Build to a crescendo* *When hurt, need and pain* *Say it’s time to let go* *And my strength tells my spirit* *To let the tears flow* *This is the special time* *That I can find release* *For this crystalline moment* *Will set my soul free* *I thank God for this blessing* *And His mercy too* *That He gave me, not a breakdown,* *But a breakthrough!*

Hi Joy,how are you?This is a very heart-touching poem.Poetry is a powerful tool to release any anger,pain or any other feeling we have inside of our bodies.Like I told a friend of mine,poetry is like doing yoga.Instead of stretching our bodies,we stretch our minds and hearts which is release from the pens in our hands to the page of a book or on a piece of paper.God Bless Poetry and God bless you too.take care of yourself

Sister,

This is beautifully penned Grace in verse - well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Even more meaningful, since my big, strong Daddy died a little over a month ago - thank you.
