A Little Kindness Never Hurts

In the parched life of desiccated emotions desolate
I didn’t know there was nestled a calm niche of bliss 
in the recess of my petrified heart I couldn’t locate
where lay unperceived a beautiful concealed oasis.

The dried tears of a hungry child begging on road, 
the stilled eyes of a stupefied mother of a lost child,
the silent sigh of a sick destitute resigned to God….
All these unveiled the obscure oasis for me to find.

From the depth of cool shade of my heart I collect
soulful of serene solace in full measure I can gather,
from the colored horizon of the new dawn I reflect
mindful of hues of rising hope as life’s live treasure.

These I give to those from humane feelings’ reservoir
whosoever need under the fallen sky in times helpless.
In my ears serenading breeze of the oasis whispers….
Rejoice kindling in dim hearts little candles of kindness.
