Let Me Be.....

if your earth is brown and dying, then let me be the rain. if your fire is small, and your body is cold, let me be logs and flame. if your soul walks alone, and your sky is dark... let me be the wind rapping at your window, and the candle flickering in your room. if your heart stands before a chasm, let me be the bridge, and the lantern. if your spirit is heavy with oppression, let my back take the whip. if the words you speak haunt you in emptiness, let me be ears, and the cup that's filled. if death confronts you with the cost of living, let my living pay the cost.... and if you just need a companion.... i'm already there... in the dog barking in the night, the birds singing at dawn.... and the smell of the flower still waiting to bloom!
