The Healing Fountain

The Healing Fountain is a phrase drawn from W.H. Audens lines, In the deserts of the heart / Let the healing fountain start. Like the crystalline spouting waters . . . poetry inspires and renews us time and again. When we read or hear a poem, our senses, hearts, minds, and souls all participate in the act. Because poems elicit responses at so many levels, they often function as vehicles for enlightenment and healing.
