Find Refuge Through Poems Of Comfort

By Tiffany Gill


Seeking shelter in the comforting arms of a loved one is easy to do, during difficult times. Often, people find themselves alone, without someone who truly understands the magnitude of their suffering. Perhaps they should consider reading poems of comfort.

Similar expressions, shared, of suffering and pain, administers repose during an emotionally isolated time. It seems almost enigmatic, how one can read the written word of another, and feel such emotional closeness and peacefulness. By applying their emotion, it seems as if they have the ability to share your feelings and express their sorrow, as if it were yours.

Encompassing your inability to grieve, they begin the process of inner healing. They usually begin with the cause of your distress, whether it is the loss of a job, self worth, the loss of a family pet or a loved one. Perhaps you are still in denial regarding your loss. By allowing yourself to focus on the object of your grief, you allow yourself to feel your loss. You can not truly heal and move on, if you do not allow yourself the ability to grieve.

By allowing yourself to feel your loss, they help you find strength to let go, to continue to live, to strive, to allow yourself to once again begin to live life. Many compositions will allow you to work through your anger and hurt. Once again, they bring out the anguish that is within your soul. Slowly and methodically, allowing you to work through your grief one step at a time.

Many people find themselves attempting to bargain, through emotional appeals and petitions. They begin to feel that possibly, they could change things, if only they could go back and do things differently. All the while, being fully aware that it is impossible. But in that moment, for that brief period of time, you could cause the past to change and make your anguish disappear.

Depressive poetry assures you that your pain and suffering are unique. It almost allows you to believe that you must be the only one in the world who feels such devastating loss. It takes your pain, puts it on paper, for the entire world to see. In this manner you can almost justify your depression, as you work through your pain, to find the comfort you so desperately need.

Lyrics of acceptance find you in a more responsive place. You find solace in the written word. You have come to the realization that, although you have suffered great loss, your life will continue to move forward. Yes, you will still feel the sting of loss. But, you will also be comforted in knowing that someone else has walked through this same process and has also found their acceptance.

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.
