Find Refuge Through Poems Of Comfort

By Tiffany Gill


Searching for refuge and nestling in the reassuring warmth of a loved ones arms, is assuaging in the midst of darkness. Many people find themselves wanting to be separated from the ones they love during their darkest hour. They often feel it is easier to suffer alone than to bear their anguish on their sleeve. By reading poems of comfort, they are able to see that they are not alone with their pain. They feel comforted that others have walked that path before them. Through their passionate expression, they will begin to receive their own personal healing and growth, one poem at a time.

Reading lyrics written by another who has endured similar dysphoria, can reassure even the most melancholy reader that they are not alone. By expressing their emotion and pain through the written word, their healing begins. For the pensive reader, they are able to feel that emotion as if it were their own.

Beginning by enveloping your frailty, they alleviate your emotional despondency. Although you may feel as if you can not accept your loss, they will begin to guide you in the process of acceptance, strength, warmth and love. A verse which allows you to truly feel your grief, will also allow you to begin to heal as well.

Feeling your loss, while burdensome, is part of the course of action that is required to move forward. By assisting you to work through your loss, hurt, anger and pain, you begin to release the anguish and start the process of healing. Many of these quatrains facilitate working through the negative emotions to bring you to reclamation.

A sonnet of bargains is one full of emotional pleas for the circumstances to change. If only you could go back and make things different, knowing full well that the bargaining will not change the course of your grief. For that brief moment, it makes it seem almost possible that if you make the right promises, you could change the past and make your pain vanish.

When grieving, people often feel that they are alone, even when surrounded by people who care. Compositions based on depressive writings allow you the ability to feel the overwhelming drumbeats of despair. This assists those who have been swallowed by depression, to begin to see the hope and possibility that surrounds them, thus giving them the acquired power to rise up from the depths of depression to move forward with life.

Finding peace in lyrical words of acceptance, you begin to see that your life will move forward even though you have endured immense emotional pain and loss. Although you will continue to feel the loss, you have come to the point where you are able to continue on your journey. You may find it easier to gain this acceptance by knowing that others have endured during this process.

Succor often begins with reading the lyrics that others, who have walked this path before you, have written. Immerse yourself in the strength of their compassion. Feel their sorrow, watch as they face their loss, as they gain acceptance of things out of their control, as their own personal dysphoria disappears while they regain their resolve. Discover peacefulness that can only be found through poems of comfort.
