I bumped into kindness
in between pillars of defeat
In my rush to tend to another fire
Kindness required
Nothing
I scoured my destitution
for some words
An offering
But kindness
did not require
my softening
Kindness exists
in the desperate,
desolate places
In war torn faces
running their own races
I witness traces
of kindness
Spinning webs
Intricate webs
beautiful webs
In between pillars
of defeat
About the Creator
Kt
I embarked to my favorite coastline several years ago in search of feeling in a dark season and accdientally wrote a poem. I have written ever since.
Poetry is what my friends know me for, but words burn in my bones.
Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
