    If I could

     

     

    I would gather
    All the kindness
    Of the world, my love,
    And lay it before you,
    Soft petals around,

    So that you may soften so deeply
    As to be free of the mind,
    Soften so fully
    As to be whole,
    And let go so profoundly
    As to make the move
    Towards death

    Unhindered,
    Unafraid,
    And ready for that which awaits you.
