Random Acts of Kindness


"Random Acts of Kindness"

you send the devil 
his reassurances 
of forgiveness 
through love
the blindness
corresponded
some generous
catharsis 
in a moment
of delusion
the sticky web 
nullified
words sent 
words received
morse code
S.O.S.
S.O.S.
S.O.S.
beats 
the pierced heart

the invisible bleed
next level love
the shining haze
bars raised
backhand played 
fast on the court
roll called 
the masked ball 
those present
all masked
the flying monkeys
love-all;
two devils
abscond with all
that matters most
what follows 
is not 
what we are 
taught

kindness,
a random act

a walk 
to George’s Heights
the sun shines 
not a cloud in sight
blue sky adorns
release,
never arrives 
easily, 
there is always 
the cost, when 
the morning star 
is torn and falls
grounded 
Home
homeless,
lost

a reason for everything
the purpose a mystery
that too, the loss

random acts of kindness

the cost, 
the loss

two sides 
of a coin 
tossed 

gravity, 
pulls in 
anchored words

the heart interred
the card reversed

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)




"no more 
will my green sea 
go turn 
a deeper blue"
