Kind Words

Kind words find a way
Photot from a little story about a Starbucks
guy who made a patron's day by writing on her cup.
Cost him nothing.

to soften, knead the soreness
of a broken heart, releasing
acids that the tissues strain to
keep, afraid that when
the bitterness is gone,
there will be nothing left.
Kindness pours a balm,
restoring calm and bringing
oxygen to cells that are just
recently relaxed. The "ahhh"
that comes is palpable, and takes so
little time, you'd think we'd all
be experts. Such a simple thing,
and free. And somewhat rare.
