Healing Leaf

In her poetry collection, The Healing Leaf, author Pamela Moorehead expresses her life experiences through a search for words with healing value. Her poetry explores interests in humanitys internal struggles, including humans abilities to tell the truth, let go of poisonous attitudes and emotions, and learn to listen to their intuitive voices. In poems like Murder in the First and The Wheels Go Around, Moorehead invokes strong feelings and philosophies about living an open life that seek to inspire the need to think, write, reflect, and meditate.There are moments when attitudes and emotions, whether positive or negative, bring freedom, like a caterpillar shedding its cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly; Mooreheads poetry is driven by the need to reveal these life-altering, energizing moments. Better UnderstandingThere is a strain in my heart for humanityWe speak with our tongues as how view insanityTurn around and the actions are not noble gesturesViolence sex drugs and alcohol are our pleasuresSomehow mankind cannot get it togetherNow I cannot say that I am perfectThe things I learned as a child in our timeWas truly worth itIf we have become honest about lovingAnd livingBullying from every perpetratorwould disintegrate into nothing
