Loving Alone

Colleen’s weekly challenge – theme prompt:

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world

~William Shakespeare, The merchant of Venice~

mournful little star
amidst these cold hearted flecks
forsaken to strife
you drip with lachrymose pleas
beseeching indifference

persistent love light
the lost, flock to your beacon
brightening this world

.

One light can make a difference, one light can spark a thousand more.

Thanks Colleen for this challenge, and Merril for choosing this week’s theme prompt. It’s a very beautiful quote from Shakespeare.

I hope you all enjoy this tanka and haiku.
Stay safe everyone and keep loving.
