Write "My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer." NIV Psalms 45:1 You say you'll never write again? Never write again? Because of your pain? How can you gain? When poison's in a soul. Must it not be cleansed By your own true pen And so my friend To make your heart grow whole? Write and write! And write! 'Til your soul's pure white Leave cold dark night Come! Bring your pen! Let's fight! Write!

You could not know, had no way of knowing how much this meant to me to read this from another. These words. I read them and I just nearly fell apart. Thank you so much for this, for I have nearly given up so many many times. Oh, not writing, really, for I don't believe I could ever give that up but sharing, expressing openly, publicy, it's painful, it hurts! But it heals also. It heals a person who has been broken and suffering and allows the good and the joy to return to the heart that was so desperately wounded. God bless you for this. Kathleen--(Kay) |

Thank you, Kay for your wonderful response. I am glad that you found it inspiring and thrilled you liked the scripture verse. As you well know, healing can only take place when we face an injury and in our mind remove it like surgery. The bad must be released! One little decayed bit at a time. And as the rot goes, healing replaces it with beautiful, pure new life. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

You know what Newell, I don't think we have a choice here, Once I was very down and I said, I am not writing anymore..As I don't write with pen but on the PC, My body somehow gravitated towards the PC and my fingers went into action. It can be scary. But I do believe the poet, writer in us, drives us to write...love this much.. floriaFloria |

Thank you floria for your thoughts. Yes! I know that I have no choice. I write about everything. And if someone says anything is evil, I quickly write the darkest side as I try to understand the truth in it. All poison must be released! Vomited! Excreted! For purity demands cleansing. And that is what poetry is all about. Purifying our soul. Write! Write! Write! then Love! Love! Love!
