Day 342: The Tender and the Tended
∴
could you take my hand?
while i try these new legs,
made for standing?
while i raise these new arms
meant for stretching
and whose reach
might reach
for good?
could you talk to my heart?
and whisper grains of courage
like microscopic seeds
that no one need see
for i promise,
i will feed them from good waters
and till the soil of me soundly.
could you watch?
while the tender and the tended
both grown and growing be
and see what fruits
are born thereon
and eat the yield with me?
