The Shores of Alone

The aged vintner paced the arbor
noting just the areas in need
with some extra pruning, tender care
years of experience he can read
symptoms of malaise before too late
prevent the rot from over growing
weed out the bad, enable the good
to flourish, keep the rich wine flowing.
Such gentle care of vines of the heart
can cure what seemed a hopeless disease
touched with love, almost all may be healed
the vinemaker, with true vision, sees.

The last four lines of your poem especially ring out.  A tall silver goblet of grape juice would be good right about now...
