Yes
I stretch out
my arms
and bear
your cross
Your fear
that wells up and overflows
your sorrow
that haunts
the most awful pain
you endure
and you cause
I embrace
I gather into myself
with open arms
to swallow it
in love
I drown your No in my Yes
to a deeper Yes
The grave itself I smother
in love
until there is
nothing left
but Yes
and still
even later and always
my open arms
