By doc ellen’s poem: what do you do

 

_RK_7062 mallard swimming away medium 2014

what do you do
when friend
hurt battered betrayed bruised
aches bone deep
swims away from your calls
.
what do you do
when friend
mute depressed angry dark
looks away
leaves once known shores and you

what do you do
when friend
haunted by other’s hate
fails to see
your heart open waiting
.
what do you do
when friend
bolts in hopeless blind flight
seeking light
comes to where your soul waits
.
you gift the gathered hope
your heart has sheltered
