Kindness Is A Chapel

of essential light

you stumble into

the way morning blue

searches the upperworld

of attic windows before

each newborn day

scribbles a decade’s

worth of landscapes

across our attention,

perfectly quiet,

never tired,

crossing distances.

The uncluttered life

you thought was hiding

opens with tenderness,

one secret chamber

after another, as a voice

says, “Look, let me show you

how kindness repairs the world,

before you go soaring above it.”
