Will

There will be hard days

When they come
if you wish
I will arrive with
blanket
bowl
and bell

I will arrive with
water
oil
incense
fire
and flute

We will sing
talk
sit
laugh
cry
and pray

I will see you
You will see me
We will see things as they are

On the hard days
and they will come
you will have my
hands
feet
eyes
ears
mind
and heart

If you wish
I will arrive
bear witness to you
with you
in the dark
with a light

Eyes open fully
I will not look away

Dear one
you are not
and need not ever be
alone
