Line of inquiry: “as we passed her she did wilt which caused in us sense of guilt since our stance perhaps did cause to put her heart’s joy on pause though we’re gentle, not hostile we diminished her soul’s smile since our aura as she viewed scent of love did not exude” - Unseeking Seeker A person’s true emotions we cannot know, but sometimes by a frown their feelings show. With awareness, we learn to recognize the pain reflected in a person’s eyes. There is a girl that we had somehow hurt. She lost her glow. As if left in the dirt, she seemed to wither, dying like a rose, so compassion was the path we chose. We talked with her to find out what had made her beautiful countenance and smile fade. Apologies we offered in hopes to please this friend of ours, who now seems much at ease!

Dear Andrea, the rhythm and rhyme of your verse is as lovely as its message of awareness and empathy. Your golden pen shines (as it always does). Congratulations for your success in Seeker's contest. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan

Good rhythm, rhyme and flow in this one. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject. Your visits to my pages are encouraging. For some reason I get an error message when I reply to comments on my page. Maybe because I am using my husband's computer. I reported it and it was fixed then it stopped working once again. Sara K

This is precious Andrea. Compassion in the inquiry of someone's lost smile and withering spirit is truly a reflection occurring from a beautiful heart of love. I have to fave this. It is beautiful.
