Notes About The Poem

Femur Sighs

Femur sighs, given a break and transformed by love.
— by poet (inspired by Ira Byock)

What’s worse than an illness, an accident?
Imagine with me
helpless in the abyss…
Open to the curse of curs.

No warm or cold compress
No caress
No handkerchief

No matter how hard you have it,
if surrounded by compassion,
you’re not as broken.

Sotto Poet October 29, 2023 at 2:06 PM In difficult situations, the concept of compassion becomes vital in assisting others. People are often blissfully oblivious of the significant influence they have on someone's life, or of the great assistance they bring. Blessings and good wishes Kim. Kim Rodrigues October 29, 2023 at 4:05 PM Thank you, Lasaad!

Silent One October 29, 2023 at 6:32 AM Great poem here, I agree.. Never an easy situation, compassion is very important to help others, sometimes many do not even realise how much they have helped another.. Kim Rodrigues October 29, 2023 at 9:56 AM So true. It doesn’t take much. Blessings, dear friend!
