holding this vigil for you my friend
as you face your demons
you are not alone
facing your future
by addressing your past

surrounded by angels
swords drawn and prepared to defend
you will stand firm
for every blow rain down kisses
repay every rage with love
with gentleness and compassion

pass from child to man
by giving the gift to the broken
those so consumed by hate and twisted by fate
that they can no longer
speak the truth that ferments inside them
a permission for your own transformation

forgive
and you will be free
to grow beyond the chains
those weights that have held you down
crushing your heart
you will leave this holding pattern
and live
