No Resistance

I will fight for you,
not with passion,
determination
or perseverance,
but with openness,
and gentleness
and silence.
I will send you thoughts of love
and wish you comfort
and ease,
and offer you a place to land
without effort

or resistance.
I won’t try to tear you down
to mold you

into whom I think you could be.

I will cast no anchor

to hold you to me.

You are as perfect now

as you have always been:

with the good,

and the bad,

and everything in between.

May you roam

and love

and grow,

cherishing the memories;

my light shines in your direction,
an offering of peace.

And if it guides you back this way,

I will be waiting

with a bucket full of hope

and an open heart

while life’s twists and turns

bring us back full circle

at another chance to start.
