Arrogance

You say you are humble
just like a little thimble
on a poor woman’s thumb
sewing all the way ’til she’s numb

but she’s sewn for so many years
and to any needle she shows no fear
may she need not any thimble at all
who are you to say, that you’re the savior of all?

Kindness

You come to me
in the gentlest of ways

You rise me
from my sleep
as the soft morning light
peeks through the leaves

You whisper to me
the sweetest of words
as the wind tells me
more of secrets bare

You say goodbye
and I weep.
