some men are adept a collecting a woman's fragile
holding it close within their quiet hush
caressing and speaking to its damage
like gentle raindrops they close around the delicate
these men understand women's concealed trouble
sympathize with and give of their quiet
in hopes it will take away fear and salve the heart breakable
sometimes these men have their own dread
hidden within their weary
and, as they give consolation to another broken
their own dark lies in wait to set loose trouble
within they may plead for their own self endurance
even as they comfort her lost lonely
a perfect solution to this sad concern
would be for both of their unstable fluttering
to merge the broken into the tender
fusing two together, making one from two unusual

Good to see you still writing so well.
This is very intimate and soul searching.
Sorry for the cliche.

Take care

Eric
