if
only
they all were nuzzles
on the neck,
sweet
nothings
at the lobe and ridge—
that
none
were the black tar kind/unkind
to
speaker
and
hearer both—
like virus
from the vector’s
mouth
if
only
the cure could spread
as fast as the
disease.
up to you and me?

Some whispers are unkind, spreading like a disease ~ If only more people will whisper kindness instead ~ Good one Jennifer ~

indeed
it is indeed up to you and me. ~
Oh I agree.... If only...indeed!
oh i wish that love and forgiveness would spread as fast as gossip indeed...that would change the world...
So true.. If only.. The sweet nuzzles - but it's up to us.. It should be simple.
Yes it is up to you and me - all of us. We can spread kindness like wildfire :)
Love this. A short and powerful write. Spread the cure. Indeed.
Splendid words choices. Wow.
vial whispers do seem to spread like wildfire...wide spread and untamed. fighting them is definitely not an easy task.
really nice write!
"if only the cure could spread as fast as the disease" that is so true about undoing the damage that gossip does.
Ahh... the truth, that civil balance between the said and heard. _m
"If only the cure could spread as fast as the disease." Ouch. Powerful, Jennifer. And good to 'hear' you.
Short, powerful and a call to action. Excellent!
Great call to action indeed. It's so true that we are all masters of our What Ifs. Most of those doing the whining in society are sitting back and letting others decide the outcome for them. Well said.
