Defeat the Pain
by Aaralyn Wind
Age Group: Adult
Liquid sunlight falls to dirt
Pouring water clouds the sight
Inner feelings, torn and hurt
Shadowed from the light
Like darkened skies at night
Without the shine from silver stars
Not a soul can spot the scars
Hide the tears, don’t let them fall
Be the sturdy wall of stone
Walk your path, don’t break and crawl
Joy can indeed be found alone
Suppress the tiny, weakened moan
Revel in the wind so free
Be whatever you want to be
There is no girl who needs a man
Allow the moonlight as your love
Raging beauty, alone you stand
An angel, not from up above
But as earthly as the flying dove
Don’t waste energy on tears
Nor on foolish, biting fears
Let the rain come wash away
The thoughts of never ending sleep
Let the sun brighten the day
And sanity you’ll keep
Though away it tries to creep
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground
The perfect balance you will have found
Swim in feelings of the heart
But into them do not sink
Beauty is a world apart
Like on the page, the drying ink
Revive yourself with a cool, fresh drink
Of stars and sunshine, wind and rain
For that, dear-heart, will kill the pain
--Aaralyn Wind
Author's Notes: I had recently broken up with my fiance, and couldn't seem to break out of this slump that took over me. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't write, and I couldn't even cry. It took me weeks before I could approach my altar, because I had no energy to exert for any sort of healing ritual. I couldn't even pray. Finally, I managed to sit at my altar and focus my scattered thoughts and poured all of my emotions out to my Mother just through focusing my energies. It immediately made me feel better, so I picked up a pen and paper and started writing. I love this poem, and every time I felt down again I read this poem and I remembered just how loved I felt while I was writing out all of my feelings, and just how little lying, drunken young men actually matter.
