Do you find poetry uplifting spiritually? What does this say to you?

Question

Someone dear to me wrote this a while back I thought to share:

Have patience,

Wait quietly

Ignore strife and ignorance

Time passes

Life continues frantically

But underneath

Embrace the calm.

Walk slowly

Feel your heartbeat

Know that nothing

Can touch you

Unless you permit it.

Smile sweetly

Speak gently

Touching those you meet

WIth peace and love.

And in the end

All the angry hurts

Will not matter

Walk in peace

And go in love.

Answer 1

Thank you. That was beautiful your friend has a gift.

Answer 2

I think that actually just cheered me up a bit.  Yes, poetry and music do something wonderful with words.
