Your soft featherlight touch
wrapped around my shoulders
did you know you are made from tears?
Did you know you hold oceans inside of you
that the deepest part of the ocean is not blue
it is purple.

We both have a little bit of purple lipstick on us
twirl around and around until the world is a blur
your soft featherlight touch
wrapped around my shoulders
reminds me I am home in the deepest
part of the ocean.

I forget
That random acts of kindness
Make a difference.
...
I go to work,
And all of a sudden one of the workers
Goes up to me and says
"Because I appreciate our student workers"
And hands me a small box.
I give her a pout and say "thank you so much!"
I oppened it
And it had a hand made shawl with a beautiful letter.
My gods
I felt my tears rise up, and
My chest swell.
Her kindness
Has made my whole entire life so much better.
I forgot,
That kindness is such a beautiful thing.
Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me that kindness goes a long way.
