AND BE REMOTELY KIND

     AND BE REMOTELY KIND
 

I hope these words are meaningful To each and every one. I set them on the page with light, To greet the morning sun. The words are meant to offer you A different thought or phrase, And then perhaps you too will see The gentle poets' rays. Some words are meant to give you hope For better days ahead, They are the ones I'd rather paint Than others filled with dread. But there are days that just don't fit The image in my mind. So do forgive them if you will... And be remotely kind. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<O>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> © Sharon Peeples

I really like the idea of being remotely kind, like thinking of someone, smiling and sending that smile as a happy thought to them. Perhaps that is why people come to mind in the strangest situations, like when you're in the middle of something routine and that face from a crowded scene pops into your mind that you hadn't thought of in years.
One thing is certain, it wouldn't do any harm for us all to try it a bit more.
Perfect rhyming and the softest of kind words.

Thank you kind friend for your thoughtful review! ~Sharon

This is an amazing & original message. I also try to be mostly positive in my writing, but sometimes we just have to break down & share something less-than-positive. I think it's a mark of our community of beautiful writers that most are willing to overlook our "off" days, our "off" poems & your final line is so well stated, about what it means when people try to be as kind as possible. Not long ago, someone commended me for being so nice as I told him I hated his poem. That's the kind of honesty & kindness your poem conveys, too! As always, great rhyme & rhythm!

hopefully, optimism will help us avoid the black days and still appears to be one of our most effective tools against
A wonderful touch of warm and bright sunlight each morning doesn't hurt at all

right now the most difficult thing for us poets to do is write happy...as we stay behind masks and locked doors...but there has to be hope on the horizon...we will touch each other again...that day will come.

(we will touch each other again...that day will come.) I was just thinking about that today Jacob...if things will ever be back to "normal." Thanks for your review my friend. ~Sharon

Yip, some days you go out in the sun and suddenly everything turns black.
I suppose that's life in the raw as we know it.
Soon the dark will go, and we'll be laughing again.
