They catch you up
in rings of kindness,
they cradle you,
they hold you sacred,
they wish to see you blessed
with everything you need

This gift to you unfolds
as gift to them —
they are caught up
in the light that kindness brings,
they define it with their actions

They summon it
from the ever-presence —
so they become light bearers
and also light.
So you have catalyzed
and so you shall receive.
