When the pomegranate split open,
tiny red jewels spilled out.
“Why do you hold so many seeds?” asked the wind.
The pomegranate replied:
“It’s because when someone’s heart closes,
I want to offer them a little kindness, quietly.”
The wind carried one seed away,
and gently delivered it to someone’s heart, somewhere.
