Heal the Hurt Child

Heal the Hurt Child
-----------------------------

Soft steps the afternoon breeze
carefully, respectful 
not to disturb the fragility
of your lingering presence 

Slow sighs the summer day
meloncholy, feeling
the confusion engendered
by your unearned pain.

Silent shadows flow over the ocean
synchonized, partners
with the years of rejection
that cascade from your eyes.

Sweet scented blossums dip
gracefully, offering
their accent to heal
the hurt child within.
