When Stars Appear

Following acts of terror rapt within their spell volunteers move in concert kindness starts to swell. Amidst deeds so heartless passersby watch stars appear while cursing the darkness. Citizens forget themselves show community assist as first responders deal with tragedy. Amidst deeds so heartless passersby watch stars appear while cursing the darkness. Sensing splendor on the wing, hands and feet reveal wise steps worth remembering eyes and ears of steel. Amidst deeds so heartless passersby watch stars appear while cursing the darkness. written below 4/28/2013, revised above 7/2/2021 Contest: Seguidilla Sponsored by: William Kekaula original winning sequidilla below Stars Appear Following acts of terror rapt within their spell volunteers move in concert kindness starts to swell. midst deeds so heartless passersby watch stars appear cursing the darkness.

Glad you found it so...it is a trait of some people who unwrap themselves from their own turmoil and trash and become a gift of hope and help for those in need.

A heart-wrenching scene materializes and care mingles thereafter, albeit, ugliness festers. Thank you, Reason, for your participation and your honorable placement my friend, Aloha!
