WORDS OF A HEALER (Inspired by Bette Midler's "THE ROSE")
Some people say
you will never
find your way
to achieve your dreams.
Some people say
you can never
fly higher
when you spread your wings.
Some people say,
that love has passed by
and will never
return to stay.
But I say
for those who believe,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
a miracle
can be achieved.
When the heart
feels so empty,
you're torn apart
when dreams decease
and the night,
it feels so lonely
as all hopes
have seemed to cease.
Just remember
dark clouds will never
linger here
forever and ever.
I'll be there
when you need me
to heal your wounds
so reach to me.

"your poem throws me right into a nostalgia for it. The title of the poem alone captivates the reader and by the time one reaches the end of your beautiful verse, one feels the prairie in one's pocket. Simple down-to-ear…" -

"Interesting. I love the imagery. To me it is that of a clock instead of the sea but I supposed to each, his/her own opinion. Love it. Khalid" -
