Healing circle-

I sat in a circle---
In a healing circle this day.

I was in the midst of peace and turmoil---
In a healing circle this day.

I felt my heart ache and break---
In a healing circle this day.

I shed a tear, maybe two or three---
In a healing circle this day.

I heard a man speak,
I saw a woman cry,
I felt a heart crack,
In a healing circle this day.

I was silent.
I was uplifted.
I was a part...
A part of-
A healing circle this day...

There was a sound
Of loss
Of anger
Of hurt

There was a scream
Of anguish
Of misery
Of pain

A silent scream...

There was fog
So deep and so thick
That numbness engulfed
And yet

Despite it all
There was courage
Survival
Sacred souls
Lost souls
Struggling souls

United
Silent
Sitting

In a healing circle- this day...

It was a joy
It was an honor
It was a gift

To be a part of...
The healing circle this day...

The blessing and the peace
The comfort and the grace
Of the healing circle
The healing circle this day---
