Our compassion comes from a place of empathy,
or at least it should.
Who are we if we don’t wish the very best for someone?
Trials greet us when we’re not looking, sinking us into new depths.
Gratitude overwhelms the healing pieces of us, and it is there we should bow.
Humbled.
Nature nurtures, realize this at the very least, smile and allow the comfort as it exhales its release.

There is something within nature, within us, which when tapped allows for a peacefulness to flood the soul… your poetry exudes the same feeling. Wonderful ~ “Gratitude overwhelms the healing pieces of us, and it is there we should bow.
Humbled.” Wishing you a calm, rejuvenating autumn, although I guess autumn is not known for rejuvenation… maybe a calming/reflective wish it better 🙂

Randall, the cool breeze of fall and the smells of spice in the air happens to rejuvenate quite well. *smiles* I’ll take Autumn just as she is, and accept Old Man Winter as soon as he decides to arrive. Sounds like next week from where I sit. Sending hugs your way, Sir.

A lovely poem and similar to a few that I’ve written, Audrey. Nature has her ways, doesn’t she?! Hugs

Lauren, many of my poems – nearly all – are written about some part of nature. It has always been my muse. Thank you for stopping by.

Yes there is. We have been trapped by above 100 degree temps for 70 days. Now it is in the 90s and outside is delightful
