Contagion of Kindness
A whisper falls like morning rain,
Kindness blooms despite the pain.
If venom spreads, then so does cure—
A spark of heart that will endure.

- Comment from author about the poem: too late for the "is it contagious" collab... apologies to Poetic Licence. Yet whispers linger, soft as morning rain, That kindness, once planted, will blossom again. Though shadows are louder and cruelty shouts, A single good deed can still turn tides about. If venom is viral, then so is the cure, A spark in the heart that makes courage endure.

Yet whispers linger, soft as morning rain,
That kindness, once planted, will blossom again.
Though shadows are louder and cruelty shouts,
A single good deed can still turn tides about.
If venom is viral, then so is the cure,
A spark in the heart that makes courage endure.
Beautiful words of wisdom my friend
My friend, this shines with quiet defianceβ¦the venom, the cure, the enduring heart. You turned simplicity into light that lasts. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬ A fave from me. Love it. Hope you have a great day and all is well!
That "quiet defiance" could be the core, the gyroscope of living. Thanks so much dear friend. Have an excellent weekend ποΈππ
Those sparks will always show us the way Rik.

Thanks, Andy. And a good think too! ποΈπ and now that you're 77, that reminds me how in many ways 1977 was a good year for me! ππ
This is vivid and beautiful. Post pandemic. Im sure a lot of people can relate. I thouroughly enjoyed this read. Thank you for writing it.
