LINES OF THOUGHT © 2015
Everything becomes clear,
When we experience the kindness of others,
As if the light of the world, once a shelter,
Revealed itself in simple and just gestures.
It’s in the gentle touch of a smile,
In the outstretched hand expecting nothing,
That the heart, suddenly uncertain,
Finds peace on the journey laid out.
Kindness disarms, illuminates the path,
And makes the shadows dissipate,
Shows that, even in the hardest fate,
There’s beauty in those who live for us.
When kindness touches our being,
Everything becomes easier to see.
