Gardens Of Kindness Poem by ~~~ Leaven ~~~

Become ye not members of dread;
Those droplets of dark rain,
That shall scourge the land
And, water forgotten seeds of strife.

Choose thee,
To turneth away anger,
And denieth
Thy vengeful opportunities,

So that ye become a vessel
For the grace of forgiveness
And show unto the trespasser
divine mercy.

Raise up and nurture
Gardens of kindness
That their fragrance shall be sweet
Unto me.

And, that I might
Pierce those blackened clouds,
And, disburse them
With the rays of my good.
