Hi and love if you're not!
In Hebrew, "song" and "poem" are the same word, שיר / shir. Also a word sometimes used by psalms to refer to themselves (though the Hebrew word for that is to refer to them as a chapter of tehillim, praises.)
Here are some words for you, some of which are more formally in this category, and some of which, maybe less so. But they've all hit me deeply, personally, in some way, and they've all been words that I've found have moved me or supported my practice around this time. Maybe some of them will do something for you, whatever your plans are for the next few days.
