Words For It

​Words For It
I wish I could take language
And fold it like cool, moist rags.
I would lay words on your forehead.
I would wrap words on your wrists.
“There, there,” my words would say–
Or something better.
I would murmur,
“Hush” and “Shh, shhh, it’s all right.”
I would ask them to hold you all night.
I wish I could take language
And daub and soothe and cool
Where fever blisters and burns,
Where fever turns yourself against you.
I wish I could take language
And heal the words that were the wounds
You have no names for. -
Julia Cameron
Words have power.
Words can heal.
Words can create.
May you tap into the magic of the word and lift into the higher realms to truly "see".
Holding for peace inside of myself and to the people of Ukraine.
