A ripple radiates
across a once still pond
the stagnant discontent
forever disturbed
by a single drop of empathy
A smile curls
in the corners of a mouth
once hungry
now satiated
by the spirit of generosity
An inner light glows
in eyes once dark with doubt
illuminated now
by sweet hope
A child whispers her dreams
in the ear of an uncertain future
convinced now
by gentle reassurance
A soul expands
unable to contain within
the intrinsic beauty
and sprawling nature
of empathy generosity
reassurance and sweet hope
