My therapist has been assigning me art homework over the past few months as a different way to approach my healing from assorted traumas. This week I have to create a supportive greeting card to send to myself. The homework requires a letter or poem identifying the losses from said trauma and offering strength and support. I, obviously, opted to a write a poem. Let me know what you think. If it is supportive.
Cruel hands
Cruel heart
Laid waste your innocence
Your tender soul
The days are dark
The nights darker still
The light shall rise again
To dry your tears
Come take my hand
I’ll hold you through
The black storm raging
And come together
Into the light
Descent Rising
