From Pen to Paper

Words flowed from pen to paper as effortlessly as my blood courses through my veins. As soon as one word was completed, another began to form. Word upon word, thought upon thought, I wrote it freely and without regard for content.

I was not writing to be read, or to be understood.
I wrote to find healing,
And perhaps someday to feel again – to be able to finally be free from the numbing cocoon of sorrow that had enveloped me for so very long.

Sorrow that stifled.
Sorrow that suffocated.
Sorrow that prevented me from feeling the joy I once knew.

Oh pen, glide upon the paper.
Oh thoughts, be released, surrendered to the One who understands.
Oh heart, live again in the splendor and the joy of the Lord.

I just lost my brother and i didn't think i would ever put another word down but i did and a poem of him emerged and it is such a release and we are now encouraging my sister-inlaw to write and she is. Even if no one else see's it , i believe there is healing in it and oh yes, our Savior very much reads every word. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, ARTICLE !

Hey, Laraine: I understand what you are saying. For many writers, the reward of writing is in the process of writing. If what we write is never read by another person, it is read by God. For a Christian, writing is prayer. Any creative activity is Godly, if you allow him into your heart. Writing can heal wounds, comfort old sorrows, give revelations and draw us closer to God. Writing is abiding.
