Acts of Kindness

To discard past experiences
that serve me not,
and finding wistful grace
that more love in my heart 
enchants those I do,
 
then open fresh of  pages 
within this autobiography,
joy from random magnanimity---

untiring compassion
perhaps selfless,

to nourish trees of unplucked affection
