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.
The goodness of people found along the way. Some came for a reason—some blocked the way. The sun appeared, then came the rain. Peace was felt—but so was pain.
I look ahead; clarity leaves me. Which path should I follow? Where is the true light showing the way? Will mistakes still happen if I always do right?
The journey is amazing. Still, I need an anchor for the night— Embracing the randomness, Hoping for light.
This poem was written while reflecting on the unpredictable nature of growth, connection, and the winding paths we walk. Some people guide us. Some challenge us. And often, we’re left navigating between peace and uncertainty, light and shadow. Consider the Journey is about finding meaning in the midst of all that—not by having answers, but by staying open to the questions.
