Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Blind Trust

her youth
disheveled
tossed about
mishandled

stolen innocence
to inner turbulence
behind closed doors
the secrets silenced

hushed and harsh
misguided and abandoned
grown roots of despair
from a desiccated soul

irrevocably damaged goods
left to her own devices
in a world of predators
without defense

made it out on her own
pioneered a safe haven
for hurt feathered creatures
on wings of love to heal the scars

John Watt August 3, 2020 at 11:24 PM There is a kind of redemption in channeling one's own pain into healing the pain of others. This thought is wonderfully rendered, Line. Line Gauthier August 4, 2020 at 6:17 AM beautiful comment ~ thanks, John
