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.

Reason A. Poteet Date: 11/19/2016 9:11:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
