Can I?

Can I?

written by: Dr. MOLLY JOSEPH

 

happy 

can I be  your
              comforting   
 cardigan
                  when 
the cold wind
                blows
ruthless
                over  
the valleys
          you traverse..     

when it 
            pains
inside, outside
                     your 
ostriched self
       can I be your
soothing balm?

when 
       you reach 
your room 
             desolate
to find 
          your table
wiped off 
           by wayward 
winds
        can I help
gather
        the scattered?
     
when 
       you open 
 the window
           to get 
piercing 
             sounds,
worlds
         encroaching.     
    can I be 
             your
 soothing music..

when 
       wordless
you turn 
         as witness
to the medley 
                can I be
 your peace
                 inside.. 

can I be 
        the warm hearth
you 
       huddle around
back
      after a walk
so long
           in freezing cold..

can I.. can I ?
