Peace of mind

If you are the one shining the light,
You will never be bothered by night.
If loving warmth is given by you to all,
Loneliness may never bother your soul.

If love and kindness are your way of being
And in everyone some good you’re seeing,
Then happiness and peace of mind
In every little corner of this world, you’ll find.

Words: Aufie Zophy

Kindness

The disease of sour face
has a wonderful medicine:
it is the contagious smile.
Let’s give one to many
and sour face disease may fade.

The disease of looking away
has a wonderful remedy:
it is the contagious loving look.
Let us give one to many
and this disease will fade away

And there is one super drug
for still many more diseases:
it is the contagious random kind act.
Let us give one to many
and a healthy society may evolve.

The more loving one

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Words: W.H. Auden

Passion for kindness

When our future seems just gloomy and dark
It is time to search for that amazing spark
That is always there, that never goes out
No matter how grey the sky, how dark the cloud.

No matter how disturbing the news, we read
We can always find what we truly need
Let’s not seek it on facebook, no, not on the net
That spark is not there, let’s never forget

It sits inside, in our brain, our heart and soul
That spark of passion, that burning call
that little motivating flame to be ever nice and kind
that inspiring thought that never really left our mind

Let’s go on a complete fast from news at least for a day
Let us make it silent within and keep all negativity at bay
Find back that spark inside and feed it
A flame, a fire of passion for kindness, we truly need it
