Gentle kind soul,
I see the tears you weep,
as you sit in quiet vigil
while the world is asleep.
The world's weight has settled
in your bones tonight,
leaving you wishing for peace,
instead of a fight.
Kindness flows from you
like steady breaths, so deep;
While others dream and slumber,
your selfless mind still seeks.
I sometimes watch
as your mind creates storms,
and your eyes rain with mercy,
as you care for all.
Your heart overflows
with hopes and dreams,
while time, like a fish,
swims quickly downstream.
Silhouetted by moonlight
spilling through the window pane,
its presence is a thankful kiss
that softly speaks your name.
