Fellow Travelers (On a Metaphorical Journey to Healing)
Matt Howard
Fellow Travelers
On a metaphorical
Journey to healing
Where one builds safety
And the other seeks to trust
Creating a bond
The first, a healer
Educated, thoughtful with
Ethereal ways.
The second, a soul
In need of healing, help to
Cope with life’s trials
Which rise from nowhere
And expand to everywhere
Obscuring the view
Of now, and later
Healer and client begin
Taking the first step
On the path edged by
Scenes of light and dark, fear, faith
Pain and well-being
Interwoven Threads
Crafting a vibrant, strong and
Fragile tapestry
Hence, the way of a
Counseling relationship
Journey to healing
