Christmas has a way of pressing gently on those tender places, reminding us not only of what we have endured, but of what God still desires to restore.On December 27th, 2025,&nbsp;Holiday Expressions of Hope, Love, and Forgiveness—a live poetic encounter that reaches beyond entertainment and straight into the soul was released.At the heart of this gathering is William Owens—Of the Heart Poet. William’s journey is not polished or distant. His poetry is forged in the real fires of life—divorce, rejection, loneliness, misunderstanding, forgiveness of others and of himself, all at the cost of pursuing God’s call with relentless conviction. These are not wounds he hides; they are the very soil from which his words grow.Yet in every valley, God has met him—not only to heal him, but to shape him into a vessel able to speak life into others. Through thousands of poems written over nearly a decade, two published poetry books, and a full-length film rooted in the very themes of this event, William has learned that the heart becomes clearest when it is surrendered.

In that search for "more," we unknowingly step into the trap of codependence. It is a soul-level addiction that leads to a realm of despair, depression, and a false identity that masks who you truly are.This poem is a mirror. It reveals the "grotesque creature" of offense and pretense that we allow to etch itself onto our hearts. It exposes the drug-like desperation for validation that separates us from the only love that truly matters: God’s.Prepare to have the vice-like grip loosened. If you are tired of the confusion and the "soul addiction" state of mind, this poem will guide you back toward the truth that sets you free.<blockquote>"Holding me in a vice-like grip of a soul addiction state of mind / Causing me to be tied to another soul of an opposite kind / With drug-like delirious desperation fueled by an agitation..."</blockquote>
