Sweet child,
nestled in the arms
of vicious shadows,
how I yearn
to soothe the ache
threatening to overwhelm you.
Angel,
how I wish to
cleanse you
of your fears
whilst evaporating
tears
before they've even
the slightest chance
to cascade down
your gorgeous face.
Sweet girl
subject to a world
too complex and vile
for any to endure
and yet thousands do
and no one listens
to their pleas.
When the day comes
you hit our soil
I can at long last
embrace you
and soften your toughened heart
and let the love and care
you so deserve
ebb into your world
if only for a while.
Author notes
A friend I care dearly for keeps getting beaten up by reality, barraged with awful things and haunted by memories... and this is for her.

what a lovely soothing poem to comfort your friends heart.
May you tell her from me, that each bruise and memory
can be transformed
into absolute beauty, courage and strength of soul!
A mighty oak tree filled abundantly with
acorns of vast renewal and abundance.
what a wonderful gift you have to use your ink
so tenderly!
