In the open cabinet of a dusty library shelves are laid the custodian of history-books: they are the facts of truths and figures of revelations. Since the inception of the book form, they have stood side by side with time as witnesses to every presented legend as told by the narrator. A much more living and selfless record is it been a vault of reliefs shouldering casts of told and untold tragedies. Like crucibles, they absorb burden and melt it to the form of the desired.
The act of writing has bored books that have produced a new world of unlimited solutions. That act has become an art of healing. The entire framework of the human mental impulse pivots on certain external activities exercised by the character. They connect in such a way that even the crucial of surgical administration would highly rely on the performance of this bond in the being involved to be effective.
Art caters for our general human creativity especially in tendering to see life in matter. In creative writing, the function of expressive art is well active in reaching the centre consciousness of man. It is a therapy. In the crystal-clear mirror of art to life, poetry lives closer to man and is found residing in that core of the human consciousness. In the writing therapy, poetry is a natural self healing activity. It process of the written word spoken has testified itself as an effective tool in the treatment of human maladies and infirmities.
The motion of the ink, ascending into the condensed imagination, examining the body, bones, the bloodstream, the heart; signaling the weak cords to wake the tissues within…. therein the flow runs again and the beats are resumed.
Poetry writing more than any other genre resists the mind of everyone but the individual, the creative self. The “I”. This is the foundation where the real poem comes from and the journey to that source of creativity is so natural, easy and instant.
Poetry for healing is self encounter and resolution. You reach for yourself to find yourself. The strength in your worst weaknesses. Poetry as old as it is is the new religion that has been able to heal itself to heal the world.
