A time of indifference

Indifference causes hearts to drift away,
even if tranquil eye be nonjudgmental,
since as long as soul’s in this vessel of clay,
to nurture love, kind touch is fundamental,
even better still, if we engage in play,
with interaction both mindful and gentle.
Sadly ghosting loved ones has become the norm;
lost is childhood innocence, tender and warm.
