Tended.
Shade her spent tears with green.
Cast a cool shadowy pattern of leafiest salve over
over the burnt-out condition of her
barren pasture and over-worked feelings.
Let compassionate breezes
drift around present doubt found in her mind,
sow gentle seeds on past-scarred parts
and let healing start in her broken dreams.
Make her a garden of peace.
Watch her heart blossom and as confidence grows
in a true caring love welcome her wary
responses as newly-found trust increases.
Her growing ground once freely
flourished and tended it can be flowering again
with weeds of betrayal uprooted and
cleared those hard rocks of hurtful deceit.
