What is the concern in this poem" A Friend and Healer"?
To wander in your eyes where nothing lives
And find the pain you keep so close to you
The heart you have has emptiness to give
The color of the world your in is blue
I'll keep my thoughts and offer you a hand
And never cross the line that does divide
To be a healer you can understand
I'll be within your reach and by your side
And never fear the length of coming days
The time within will wash away the pain
Regrets will come and go but always stay
If you conceal what's left of love's remains
To wander in your eyes when you forgive
When you finally heal your heart where love lives

Inspiring and masterfully written.
A Perfect Iambic Pentameter opening,
that you continue thoughout the entirety
of this moving poem.
A syllable flow that frames so beautfully
the message to follow. You introduce the
color blue, with all it's metaphorical implication,
like a tinted mist that infuses the flawless
flow of movement through this composition.
The loneliness and pain...suffered in silence.
You choose to change meter in your closing
couplet...
This change only emphasizes
the emotion of finality for the reader.
A touching, captivating
soothingly flowing poem of melancholy.
A poem to keep, return to and re-read.
Bravo, Fred.

The concern is found in the one who is looking into the blue eyes,
seeing the emptiness that comes when one numbs themself to
all the pain and heartbreak they have with stood, only to find nothing
left to give.
it is the hope of that observer to instill some feeling back into that heart
but
I may be dead wrong.

It is frightening to lose that which you speak of here, when once flowing emotions freeze up and snowdrifts bury the evidence of warmth. The thoughts behind this are like the first thawing of Spring.

To be a healer or accepted as such, one must be healed first. In this case, it doesn't seem the case, good poem however.
