The Power Of Kindness Mystic


The self-whirling storm blows over the placid surface 
of the wilderness encompassing my deserted life.
Unaware of the niche of bliss nestling in my heart,
I fail to discover the oasis of the gentle ambiance, 
not until the debris of the wrecked lives I witness
crushed in the tempest of the tormenting times.

The teary faces of starving children on the pavement,
the stony eyes of mothers who lost their children,
the silent sighs of the destitute resigned to destiny,
all crowd in my arid wasteland with poignant pathos,
yearning to find in the quietude of their suffering  
the ever-flowing fountain of divine benevolence.

Garnering the grace of God in the sanctum of soul,
the reservoir of generous humane feelings I empty
to assuage the pain of those hurt under the fallen sky, 
convey God’s eternal blessing of sanguine solace
to kindle hope in the dark abyss of anguished hearts 
with the consoling candle of compassion.
 
I’m overjoyed perceiving how positively
the deranged course of life stream can be changed 
by the overwhelming power of kindness.
