i will be dust
i will be rain
i will be the beginning and the end of the
sweetest pain
teaching you gratitude
for lessons learned at the
most horrific times
and if there is no lesson discernible
i will be the comfort that comes to take
the rest of the suffering away
i will be the patience you cultivate
and will grant you relief from
the long stretches of waiting
because without me
you would go so far inward that nobody could reach you
and i will be clarity
so that you have something to cling to that will do you no harm
will only assist you on treacherous paths
that you must walk because you chose them before you even arrived in
a body that you would have possession of only for some 90 years if you are lucky
i will be dust
i will be rain
i will be there to hear you complain
of every ache, every betrayal
i will never fail
