the darkening of the skies
holds mysteries cowering
be aware of mal-intent
lurking beneath
people with unbeknownst agendas
their purpose only to harm
taking pleasure in soiling your innocence
while absconding with your faith in humanity
shed your vulnerable naiveté
for there is wickedness in this world
guard yourself diligently
rise above to the light
I Write Her 
Susi this is a very timely poem! Yes and yes again – the nefarious are waiting patiently to ensnare the unwary and the unsuspecting!! A very poetic warning!!

Oh! This is so apt just now, Susi. I have been told I am too compassionate! I always thought you are either compassionate or not, but now I think there may be degrees of compassion! ❤️❌️🌹

Don’t ever stop being compassionate, Carolyn! We actually need MORE compassion than ever before! And yes, definitely degrees. It is good to balance it so you don’t get burnt out! Thanks, Carolyn!
