Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Nectar of Compassion

Plagued by bitterness from a life deeply torn
Shadows drown a quietude now ruined…
Till  I lay in the warm beat of calm introspection,
Accepting gently this nudge for pure empathy
While honey’s nectar pours into fluid compassion...
And  just then, rude shadows melt… to walk away.
