Kindness...

Kindness blooms

everywhere,

even in the soil of happiness

it will take root and spread itself

measure for measure towards the rising light.

You don't have to watch the grass fade,

bleached by loss and pale from pain,

to feel it sit beside you on the journey home.

Don't have to take a wrong turn

and find yourself lost,

before you see it coming

wedged between the parcels on the train.

You must not wait for it to find you in the dark

clickety clack of the track

but seek it out now,

making place for it like an old friend

even as you feel your breath warm the glass pane,

looking out through clear glass

alive and glad already

for the kindness by your side.

Don't wait...you don't need to!
