Poem #6 — Offering Comfort…

From my Poetry Portal

Offering Comfort

In these challenging times, I offer this intention:

Let’s come together to comfort each other in this moment as best we can.

Whatever comfort means to you.

Consider breathing.

Together.

Sending comforting energy to each other.

Holding each other’s hand.

Let’s show up without knowing how.

Rather let’s co-create comfort together.

Continue to breathe consciously.

Sending this energy from your heart.

Consider saying, “I am here for you. I am with you.”

First to yourself and then to others.

Consider feeling every feeling, with understanding and acceptance.

Then let it go.

You are not alone.

We are together.

We are light.

We are being light.

Only light can dispel darkness.

We are doing it.

The Takeaway by Lewis Harrison “Ask Lewis”

I love writing and reading poems. Poetry bypasses my left brain intellect and connects that part of me that seeks meaning, rhythm, emotional resonance, and literary texture.

For me, the best poetry has a natural richness of meter, intonation, and rhythm.

Many readers of poetry, aren’t aware of the fact that rhythm and meter are different, though closely related. Meter brings the definitive pattern established for a verse, while rhythm is the actual sound that comes from poetic words, and phrases.

I have many friends and associates, who write wonderful poetry. Usually, they drop their creations into a Facebook post where it is likely to be noticed by less than 25 people. I have decided to create a Poetry Portal in a number of wonderful publications on Medium.com. Here I have gotten permission from my poet friends and associates to repost the writings of these gifted creators.

I have known Michele for over a decade. She is a great writer and a visionary thought leader.

Here is an introduction to the Poetry Portal series of poems.
