A Prayer For Michael

A Prayer for Michael (the one who sent me here) I said a prayer and called your name It was a prayer for you You are my friend I called your name with tears My eyes are rivers in your grace I cannot see the bottom of this pit Upon whose rim you stand But I release you from the wretched place I break your spell and kill your witch with my golden cold spike of love I have no tools My ways are simple But I throw them over to you with every inch of strength you have given me I only have a small closed heart that’s broken But it wishes to be strong and large Like you can be too Like you were as a child of light Like you are still, but only blinded and stunned You are like a brother and father and guide to me In one stroke of kindness you gave me hope My broken heart holds magic It knows your pain And in its lock a golden broken key of love you turned You made me stronger And like a starfish Now I have a thousand keys forming to give away I offer one to you my new friend My love is yours to use and keep Hold it in your heart Be warm I pledge my friendship In the times your heart is cold and lonely Drink to me the cup you throw away Remember I will keep you warm inside of me Your memory will not fade, I know your name Take strength in knowing those you heal Demand of you as well that you should rise again Rise and take your place Stand in recognition of what you must be and are even now Walk forward again in the light of your own making Have half the hope you have given Rekindle it You have no shame And no wrong did you make It was right to love so freely With such pure honesty and trust and lust No matter that anyone should hurt you This was only a test and strengthening Use the hurt to remember your mission Let its fading embers grow warm again and not fester Fuel that fire with the wind of your desire to heal And love again without restraint As you know you always will and must I release you from the spell No fear is yours to bear Stand up and walk out of those old shoes In health, without fear, I set you free
