Troubled?
Then stay with me, for I am not.
Lonely?
A thousand naked amorous ones dwell in ancient caves
beneath my eyelids.
Riches?
Here's a pick,
My whole body is an emerald that begs,
"Take me."
Write all that worries you on a piece of parchment;
Offer it to god.
Even from the distance of a millenium
I can lean the flame in my heart
Into your life
And turn
All that frightens you
Into holy
Incense
Ash.
