The 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 Understanding

There is a strain in my heart for humanity
We speak with our tongues as how view insanity
Turn around and the actions are not noble gestures
Violence sex drugs and alcohol are our pleasures

Somehow mankind cannot get it together
Now I cannot say that I am perfect
The things I learned as a child in our time
Was truly worth it

If we have become honest about loving
And living
Bullying from every perpetrator
would disintegrate into nothing
