Warriors of a Different Kind

Some people have a reassuring smile Always at ready no matter the time Regardless of untold things on their minds-- They're the street-lamps burning all night Comfort rules when they come around For grief and pain then remain at bay And aches of the night retreat in awe-- They're the dawn that illuminates dark Answers they find when questions storm They hold a sign when someone's lost And when they speak, that becomes the norm-- They're the phrases wisdom is made of Flowers in the midst of desert lands A rain shower soothing in prolonged drought Hope on the faces of distressed hearts-- They're the strength of weakened hands Never confused between right and wrong How they act mirrors the way they talk Magic or special powers they don't have-- They're the goodwill of human hearts July 10, 2020 Placed 2nd: Warrior poetry contest by Silent One

"Flowers in the midst of desert lands A rain shower soothing in prolonged drought Hope on the faces of distressed hearts-- They're the strength of weakened hands" These silent ones, warriors of a different kind make your life and my life cheerful. Their presence is a blessing ! Vijay, you have the correct idea of such people who are oases in a sandy desert!

Your warriors are often faced with a battle that takes more courage than one who wields a sword. I applaud your description of emotional warriors, Vijay.
