Kindness Reflected by Brent M. Jones

Pure love is kindness, softly reflected—
A virtue not spoken, but deeply detected.

Motive may twist, and reason may bend,
But the heart, not the mind, will triumph in the end.

For true goodness flows from where feeling starts—
Not logic alone, but compassionate hearts.

Kindness needs no grand design—
Its quiet power is love, defined

Thoughts about this poem

Love and purity often go hand in hand, and this connection inspired me to delve into kindness. While kindness can sometimes be used as a front, genuine kindness must be pure, just like love. When love and kindness are combined, they create a force for good, guided by the heart. Although the heart is intangible, it's the defining factor behind everything, and pure kindness can change the world. Love is often mentioned as being pure, which influenced me to consider kindness as a subject for this poem.

Kindness is often a mask for the real motive, but to be accurate, it needs, like love, to be pure.

Love and kindness combined are goodness and are influenced by the heart. Unlike love and kindness, the heart is nothing but a reference to it that defines everything.
