Why do Poems help?

Sometimes life just does'nt make sense, then all of a sudden in reading a certain poem things become clear. Now depending on where we are on our own spirtual journey, depends on how deeply the words will stay within us. Poetry seems to capture the moment when we are at our most open and vunerable, resulting in words that will not only help the poet but has potential to hold healing properties for the readers.

The inquisitive race that we are, we all at some point in our lives feel the need to search our soul for answers within. Some, like me have done it since about the age of ten :-)  some might not be ready until they are in later years. Whatever the age that one feels the urge, that is the right time to start searching for the hidden meanings to enable oneself to finally feel at peace. Poetry Is just one potential path to walk down to find such peace, It will not appeal to everyone and that is fine! Religion, inspirational videos, yoga,meditation to name but a few can all be part of inner fulfilment.

For this part of the site though, I look forward to hearing all of your poems and words of wisdom, so that we as a group can put our healing words together in one place. The main objective is to help as many people as we can here on "your answers within". For all who are struggling for direction and focus in life, to one day stumble upon our list of poems enabling them to see themselves and life, with a more positive outlook.
Together as a group the potential to help others find their answers within is staggering. Please take a few minutes to right down a few words, dont be scared. One day your words WILL help someone on their soul searching journey.

Namaste x
