-I kept my promise to you, Jett.
-I toed the path until the end.
-Pushed aside the branches that fell
-on the cracking path
-and found detours around those whose bark
-I could not form a painless grasp.
-Through the flood zones I trode
-in puddles and in gasping leaps
-and for those to traverse too deep
-found a different way home.
-The path is bordered now with dandelions
-and violet slips I cannot name.
-So many friends have come and gone,
-but here you and I remain.
-I'm waiting here, Jett. Just like I
-was a year ago, holding my hands high
-and with sore throat pleading to the sky:
-"Here I am! Here my vessel resides!
-Take me home. I've fought the fight."
-I've fought the fight. I've won the war.
-And, Jett, I want to fight no more.
-I see no point to compete
-with those who I'd rather broker peace,
-rather never see ever again,
-rather watch disappear
-on the wind.
-I'll wait here. And I'll wait here
-until you're ready, until of
-this departure you have no more fear,
-until I hear you singing my name like a hymn.
