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. --------------- Quote Prompt 1-Free Verse 11/16/2016 Sponsor: Laura Loo

Great response to the prompt, nette. Have added this to my favorites. The third/fourth lines are inspiration well worth remembering for next time. And our quietude is ruined far too often. Congratulations on your win.

This was beautiful and so inspiring. Life has a way of bringing us down at times but it is within us to face life and smile because there is always something good.
