      Redemption

Dance with the wind
  and shadows
through endless
mountain forests.
Breathe deeply…
of profound peace
in silent stillness.
Reflect upon…
the vanishing art
of gentle kindness;
then walk away…
a far better man.

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

Gentle kindness is not a vanishing art. It can be, and is, practiced anywhere, and everywhere.

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

I absolutely do. Everyone has their very own reality.

The beauty of this poem is a gentle kindness. Bruce. Something we could use more of.

Breathing this gentle write in...deeply.
There are millions of people daily who act kindly towards others. I don't see it is a vanishing behavior.
