_____________________

if you are alone today
and the rain falls cold
your head, uncovered.

If your work falters
if the audience fades, if
the solutions seem right
there,
just beyond your fingers.

If you cannot find the one
ephemeral
slippery
answer you need.

If your vision
oustrips your resources.

I am with you.

I am with you in
the ache.
In the longing that is
a dream deferred.

In the trying and the failure and
in the next attempt
I am with you.

In the résistance,
in the campaign, in
the artful vendetta,
I am with you

In the setting of the sails
in the spilling of new ink, there
at the very edge of the map,
I am with you.

Steady now.
The Cape is just around the corner.

Be brave upon the rocks.
