A Kiss in Time

I am here to please you.

The best I can somehow

I shall give you joy.

Even if it would meant pain

I’ll bear it. I shall pay tribute,

I shall have my share of sacrifice.

I shall be the rain

that descends from heaven

that comes into contact

with the lowly earth.

I shall be the fruit of the desired tree

that let go of its grip

for wanting to give.

I will be the least of the last,

the unknown in the crowd,

the hit bag of the strong,

the soles of everyone.

I shall be the silence

when chaos strides;

Falling is what made me whole.

Bowing down made me complete.

I shall be your ladder;

I will be your wind.

I will be, I will be;

I want to be a kiss

in the nick of time.
