Light Maintenance and Rescue Work

I will be there for you

for I need

the bright gold liquid currents

made of truth and confidences

that flow between us when the channel’s open

I will tend that channel

since it’s such a source of life

nourishing, illuminating 

me and you

Yesterday I saw a stoppage

Saw my light

rolling off you and not going in

Saw the block of burden

and the hooded sadness

and the drifting starting up, the downward spin

So I reached out — no

I would not let you go there

Would not let you feel I didn’t

need your light

Or that I wouldn’t stop everything

Everything else

to get the channel flowing free again

Thank you for responding

Thank you for receiving my insistent light

For coming here to where the current

can continue bright

Thank you for reaching back in trust

For we both know

it rescued both of us.
