kind

People say often “I would kill for you.” “I would die for you” or these other violent, tragic phrases.

I would be kind for you.

I would drop the knife for you that I wield to slash at others who come close.

I would open my arms for you and I would wait until you felt safe enough to walk into them and lay your head on top of mine.

I would sit beside you in bed and stay awake all night keeping you safe in the darkly hours.

I would wake up at 8 AM every morning before work to make you a cup of coffee and bring it to your bedside for you when you wake.

I would let you cry and I would assure you that you are not weak and you are safe.

I would sit quietly beside you until you were ready to open up.

because although I would fight if I must,

loving you has given me peace I’ve never known.

my soul is still when I coexist with you.

and it’s because I love you that I can embrace gentleness and finally rest.

“For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal. An artist should be able not only to spit on his predecessor’s art, or on all works of art, but on his own too. He should be able to be an artist all the time, and finally not be an artist at all, but a piece of art.”

— Henry Miller, The Cosmological Eye
