I Will Be There


Can you touch with the energy
living souls need to grow?
Or, can you gently moisten the thirst
of a waning bloom?
I will be there.
Can you heat with the passion
to need my endurance?
Or, can you accept our arrangement
to hold a beautiful composition?
I will be there.
Can you see the everlasting
in a candles glow?
Or, can you journey through time
with the gravity of belief?
I will be there.
Yes, I will be there.

How beautiful! I adore your wordplay in this poem. I was especially fond of "can you accept our arrangement / to hold a beautiful composition?" Delightful pairing of "arrangement" and "composition."
