Healing
For every one of us there is a vulnerable heart
hiding behind the steel we wear.
Words hold the secret lethal power to kill it
with potions ,with venom dissolved.
They come in like a dart, or like a bolt.
Sometimes with an omen and sometimes a foreboding.
But they know, the dark intent can kill;
has a power to strike at the root of life.
Healing has no language.
It's an ache that stands bewildered at the wreck,
only a fervent prayer with belief gone,
faith shattered,
with a hole in the heart where desire lodged with love,
the angel of healing comes disarmed.
Perhaps that's the reason why we make the angels divine,
just a little stronger than the human, but still fragile,
too sore at heart to trust their strength,
their own wings broken in sympathy,
it's truly a miracle that angels can heal!

This is by far your most beautiful yet, Sushama. At least to me, because it is so deeply touching. It's surprising that something so painful can be described with such beautiful words. It's so sad to know that some knowingly have that "dark intent"... much easier not to believe that.
I love your comments Anna, they make me look back at my words, and I am astonished.
