Kindness in a vacuum,
Even to those who hurt you.
A light in the dark,
To shake hurtfulness to the core,
To shine a light in the emptiness.
A happy recipient,
A welcome smile,
Disappearing frown,
Subsiding pain.
Helping another,
A kind hand,
Compassionate words,
Time to listen.
A good response to hurtful people,
Kind words and actions.
To help,
The greatest reward,
The greatest gift.
To make the whole world shine.
Someone else’s world shine.
Kindness within a vacuum,
A beacon of light.
To push away the darkness.
This is how I choose to live.
Trying to live right by me,
Through kindness in a vacuum.
Kindness to all I meet.
