seas of kindness

 
If my heart must break, let it bleed seas of kindness, ferrying forgiveness to rinse away pain, etched across stained shores, as I care for slowing pulses, searching for lyrical light…. and If lucky stars do wane, I’ll rhyme, be the healing hymn~ for sailing silhouettes still aching for serenity.

IE, this is lovely beyond definition and will be a favorite of mine. It is amazing how forgiveness and love translate to happiness. There is no shortage of examples which reveal how hurt that breaks someone's heart leads to anger and nothing constructive. You are a wonderful role model!

What a soulful wish, dear Empress! The world needs kindness, more and more of kindness and forgiveness even when many try to break our heart with cruel, sometimes thoughtless words and actions. Once the hurt is forgiven, though not that easy, our hearts are purged. With healing rhymes like this, we can console and comfort many 'who ache for serenity'. A heart warming sweet poem.

Kindness bleeds are the most cruel. With a man, it's almost like you can sense or see the hurt coming soon. We don't get prepared and it hurts the same but we know it will come. With a friend, you just think it's your safe space and the help is from the deepest part of yourself. You don't see it coming. Not in the way it does. And it aches, it aches so bad, you bleed and you see your bleeds gushing out from so many parts of your body at the same time. The Thing is even when we get hurt-

Thats so true, not just friends but so called “ family” and those that claim to be family. When they do certain things we cant help but bleed. Thank your for such an empathetic comment and for supporting m3
