Everything flies
away from this
Earth eventually
a finite succession
of crystalline
moments in time
are all that we
really have here
choices allow us
to shape each
moment before
they are frozen in form
in this moment
I choose
to be grateful,
happy, and to
be kind to you
I will never understand
your struggles and, mine,
you may never know,
not hollow kindness
born of pity, from
some bleeding heart,
but honest kindness
that comes from a place
of solemn respect
deep admiration
for a fellow traveler
whose twisted path
will eventually lead
them to the fringe
of very same Truth.
