Kindness

a poem by Hima Bindu

Villages and towns went by
And scalloping crowds passed by
A speeding angel as it was
It spiked up clouds of dreamy chaos
Rivers whispered to the banks as they flowed by
It’s coming and it’s coming by

A robbery here and a murder there
The games of crime played everywhere
It cared not for them not for the world around
And only astuted itself to see joy abound

It propelled to the pinnacles of love
And honoured love with a dignified bow
The realms shook in ardour of the deed
And ecstasy was let loose to sow its seed

The mere proximity enthralled peace in a spurt
And wounded the hardest heart to the crust
And as if shocked to the soul by admittance
They left the tragic memories in veiled conviction

From sinewy tears of sorted relations
Emerged the so long welt up emotions
Thus its mission fulfilled and happiness aflower
It merged away into the azure to those in need yonder
