Tender Mercies

Family might grow these

in a real

Tender Mercy Garden

Sometimes it is friends ~

Whoever steps up

to offer respite for our

tired and wearily ragged souls

Try to understand

You are adored

and they want you alive

safe and thriving

Be aware of their weariness

in the event you

overextend them

Allow spaces

Allow bursts of tension

and stress

they are doing for you what no

other person can

And it is a balm

for this tender-aged crone-girl.

 

I am a rescue animal of sorts

still getting lost

after all these many years

or perhaps

I never was found

to start with

I seek

guttural searches

discard

begin again

Landing in a place

near those who

extend the noblest hands up

filled with rich pure mercy.
