Poem - The Heart's Gentle Embrace
In the quiet moments of the mind,
Where judgments often harshly bind,
Lies a gentler voice, soft and clear,
Whispering words we need to hear.
Beyond the mirror's critical gaze,
Past failures that our hearts appraise,
Lives a truth both tender and bright,
Illuminating dark with its light.
Like an old tree, weathered yet strong,
We bend with the winds, knowing we belong,
To a cycle of growth, year by year,
Each new ring formed with love, not fear.
So let us tend to our weary hearts,
With kindness that soothes, and softly imparts,
A healing balm for the soul's distress,
In self-compassion, we find our rest.
In moments of self-judgment, may we remember to listen to that gentler voice within, offering love and acceptance.
By treating ourselves with compassion, we create a space for healing, growth, and inner peace.
May this week be filled with self-compassion and moments of gentle self-care.
Warm regards,
Isabelle from ‘The Journal Prompt’ Team.
