The Kindness Of Strangers

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

There is a beauty

that walks in the darkness,

makes its way

among the bombs

and broken lives,

offers blankets

and shoulders to cry on

puts on kettles

and bandages,

mends what it can,

and asks

for not one thing back,

as it wraps

in its arms

the troubled night,

and waits

for morning

and its pale sunlight……….
