The Healing Music

12/29/07

I saw a love that night though filled with zeal

Could not believe, and damaged by abuse,

Beaten so the wounds have yet to heal

Now for humankind has little use.

The painful visions of a pain-filled youth

Scars not healed through adolescent years,

Remembrance of the evil and untruth

Have settled in the soul a host of fears.

Only a light, a peace to waken inner sight

Or tender touch upon a troubled heart

Might lift the hurt she lives with day and night

That from childhood's nightmares she might part.

Now she is gone, this youth that made me young

And all the days of loveliness and sweet,

For there are songs in her as yet unsung

And inner challenges to meet.

The chant of drupad sounds within her soul

And all her being seeks its resonance

Her fragmented life to once again make whole,

Allow the healing music to commence.
