Random Acts of Kindness

Not borne of noble purpose,
never concerned with pride,
dreaming in the midday sun,
no shadows catch your eye.

In response to all envisioned,
waiting for signs in the stars,
no jealousy in this coveting,
in accepting accountability.

Is this random or encoded?
perhaps a bet between friends
a shaking of visionary hands;
enabling simple minds to ascend.

Uncertain if these communiqués
are dialogs or monologues.

Wonderful Corinne, it seems these days that a lot of people are not willing to do
Random Acts of Kindness unless there is something to gain from them. Really enjoyed this poem especially loved the second stanza.

Well does it count if I was a king in a previous life...

My first answer would be its encoded.
A secret meaning, like life I live it but have no idea really what it is.  

Yes another wonderful thinker here, maybe the answer is in the stars.

Thank you, Sudhir, Brian and Parker.  This one's a bit obtuse, was dealing in some deep thoughts.

Thanks again,

Corinne
