Therapy of poetry: 1
In the open cabinet of a dusty library shelves are laid the custodian of history-books: they are the facts of truths and figures of revelations. Since the inception of the book form, they have stood side by side with time as witnesses to every presented legend as told by the narrator. A much more living and selfless record is it been a vault of reliefs shouldering casts of told and untold tragedies. Like crucibles, they absorb burden and melt it to the form of the desired. The act of writing has bored books that have produced a new world of unlimited solutions. That act has become an art of healing.
The entire framework of the human mental impulse pivots on certain external activities exercised by the character. They connect in such a way that even the crucial of surgical administration would highly rely on the performance of this bond in the being involved to be effective.
Art caters for our general human creativity especially in tendering to see life in matter. In creative writing, the function of expressive art is well active in reaching the centre consciousness of man. It is a therapy. In the crystal-clear mirror of art to life, poetry lives closer to man and is found residing in that core of the human consciousness. In the writing therapy, poetry is a natural self healing activity. It process of the written word spoken has testified itself as an effective tool in the treatment of human maladies and infirmities.
The motion of the ink, ascending into the condensed imagination, examining the body, bones, the bloodstream, the heart; signaling the weak cords to wake the tissues within…. therein the flow runs again and the beats are resumed. Poetry writing more than any other genre resists the mind of everyone but the individual, the creative self. The “I”. This is the foundation where the real poem comes from and the journey to that source of creativity is so natural, easy and instant.
Poetry for healing is self encounter and resolution. You reach for yourself to find yourself. The strength is in your worst weaknesses. Poetry as old as it is is the new religion that has been able to heal itself to heal the world.
THERAPY OF POETRY: 2
More common, you find people withstand the agony of bruises, deep cuts, acute fractures and major physical injuries than bear a sorrow lodged in the corners of the mind. The suffering from a sad memory can last longer than the scars of an amputated leg. The body can only be bait to the being but not the source of the pain.
All scientific medications and religious recommendation strongly rely consciously and unconsciously on the initiation of the natural therapy of poetry. The whole drugs, incantations and scripture depend on the activation of the “I” with all its units at function less you are administering your experiment on a lifeless specimen or a weight of carnivores without a soul.
The word of poetry is the will of the heart been wheeled as a cargo of ship at a distance, it is the prayers traveling in the throat of the wind, it is the bounty wishes being herald by the pilgrim eagle, all sailing, moving to the shores of the tongue . With an amen, the army is turned around.
Poetry is a gun that can shot the morning into the night and the moon into the sun. You can joggle history like pancakes and yet you never mumble of hunger. Poetry has loaded pens with bullets that can shatter machetes. It becomes the last resort of weapon and a best consult of armour. Children have appealed to swords and they return to their lost scabbards without a blood stain. Tyrants have set their selves ablaze at the thundering of words. Climes have erased and tribes have been born to merge together in peace, all to the course of a poem.
The entire future begins in the calmest consciousness of your heart to the most agile activity of your pen soiling the palette of your tongue in the words you compose and pronounce today for your healing.
