We each will be grateful
for what has saved us,
for what has proved to be our swing
bearing us steadily up
after our fall,
when we shattered through the bottom
of our fears, and lay there, desolate
Each of us found it there,
the broad, abiding presence,
the sense of not alone,
the sweet nourishment
of being cradled -
when we shouldn't have, couldn't have lived,
there we were,
and it means everything to us
And if you haven't fallen,
have no fear -
in time you will be given
everything you need
You may think you don't want it -
that's OK - your knowing will still come for you -
you'll find it,
in your perfect time and perfect way.
