Edit

A poem that is very deserving for its craftsmanship, a talented write from a master of emotion projections, in her poetry. Using the inspiration from a quote from a famous poet (R. Tagore), and blending it in with a flavor of Greek mythology was very creative, indeed. The Poetess craftily uses the Chiron's wounds from the poisoned arrow myth, and her imagination to inspire a new beginning for 2 damaged souls in here. A compassionate individual that is portrayed here as the person that has been hurt (just like the Chiron), from the losses (wounds) inflicted perhaps from a previous relationship. She then goes on to portray a empyrean love that she perceives exists in the subliminal conscience of the characters, each carrying wounds from their individual pasts, to suggest that this like-minded union, can heal the fatal wounds for both. The flow and the symbolism conveyed in this hard hitting poem were par excellence. The ending was superb, injected with hope, from the story of the mythological Centaur, Chiron:

We learnt how to grow with them though.
Hold my hand and let's share what still
makes our souls bend.
In the end Chiron shall reconcile us
with the same arrow that poisoned
our childhood.

The title "Wounded Healer" captures it all. The take home moral here was : Our own compassion from the experiences of hurt and pain that we endure and learn from, can help people who we love, and those that are in need of "healing". Interestingly, Saturn is associated with the past, and Uranus with the future (in astrology). Chiron, a large asteroid, juxtapositioned between the two planets, symbolically depicts the power to heal the past and transform the future. One can therefore sense why she chose the title, and why the inspiration for the poem was derived from this famous quote:

"When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing." Rabindranath Tagore.
