Love will always find the kind

I have visited misery

Floated on a sea of tears

Ached to slip into eternal slumber

Wished for just a chance

All fell in vain

For all it took

Was an act of kindness

A shift from the centre

Time for another

Given as a gift

No interest payable

The ledger personified love

Delivered in abundance

As the given is received

Trust in kind-heartedness

And love will find your door

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in RISE, Camille’s second contemporary poetry collection. Love will always find the kind reflects on the saving power of human generosity — suggesting that even in deep suffering, kindness can interrupt despair and restore faith in love as something reciprocal, quietly abundant and life-giving.
