Willing and Able

I know you’ve been disappointed.

You feel like anyone you’ve ever loved has left you behind

Fumbling in some awkward silence.

I came to tell you that the love inside of you will never run out.

What you see with your eyes,

What you feel with your hands is the flowering of love

Run your fingers across the soft green carpet

Lie down in that grass

Gaze as sunflowers do

Raise your brilliant head to the sun

But do not be fooled

There is more

Deep in the belly of the earth lies the seed of something eternal.

Knock with soft slow steps upon its earthly door

Take this pilgrimage with me

When you feel the world is empty, dig deeper

Trace the roots back to its origin

There you will find the reflection of your beloved

Press your head upon its chest

Let your heart sync

And when the time comes you will be willing and able.
