The Selfless
Folder:
Odes/Tributes Once again,
fate dictates the movements
and very tides of mankind.
Once again,
as innocent victims run from the wreckage,
the selfless run into its midst.
What kind of soul,
leads a being to run, head first,
into such danger?
What inner desire to serve,
propells them forward
into places from which others flee?
Is bravery even in their minds,
or does it just flow naturally
from their veins?
Is thought for themselves,
even a thought for them,
or are all thoughts, for others?
While so many desert the streets,
so many others choose purposely,
the path of harm's way.
While knowing they are out there,
and always at the ready,
I sleep a more safe and soundly rest.
