This poem comes from The BeZine Volume 3 Issue 4, on October 15, 2016. The theme for the issue this poem originally appeared in was “Rituals for Peace and Healing.” Renée Éspriu was part of the Core Team.
Visualize the Raindrops Falling
i visualize in the warmth of the sun or in the darkest hours of night healing is held in the gift of seeing i see between the wind blown leaves pause each raindrop as it is falling everything stops but my breathing i listen to the silence all around even in the midst of all the chaos molecules of life touching gently i close my eyes for a moment in between for dreamers will always be dreaming music notes orchestrate birth and death i feel the strings of instruments hold me soft as satin and stronger than webs of silk healing is found in a moment of peace i visualize oceans and mountains colliding creating new life as gentle flowering buds death can never be the ultimate ending i see myself walking an ocean shoreline by the still spray of a wave before it crashes peace is standing between raindrops as they pause i see there briefly a place my mind rests devoid of wars, disease, famine and otherness healing is held in the gift of seeing what could be if only for a moment in time
