The Husbandman's Hands

cradle soft my soul
whisper to me, low and bold
tethering your remedies
‘round my wounded heart with
nimble words, you sew,
with tight roped attentiveness
through the dangerously delicate
muscle of my heart


while quietly praying for a miracle

There is clear vulnerability and abstract ambiguity which make this a very interesting poem to read. Thanks.

Very depthful write. I wonder what kind of miracle is needed.

After reading I felt, he had to be super careful in healing your heart. Possibly 'cause he broke it. Nice write.

Apryl, what a beautiful and gentle write. Is this a sonnet? I know now I sound like an idiot, but I am not familiar with all forms.
