Her heart wished only
to fly away freely,
as the smallest sparrow does so easily
into expansive blue skies
free of human grief and lies.

But clipped wings grounded her,
and in lieu of lofty flight
her spirit fell

onto deadwood and thorns
in brambled nightmares,
soft sorrowful screams unheard
by nearby ears unwilling
to take time to listen.

And so she fell,
covered with the leaves of despair,
not knowing or believing
there would ever be someone
to care for her heart.

But within the fallen leaves of life,
she did unknowingly nurture
the growth of another,
one who would live to soar
amongst clouds and the blue.

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, too many suffer from these terrors and tremors day and night and I send consoling hugs their way! (sad sigh) May the gist of them be deciphered so peace and solace can come to all hearts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

covered with the leaves of despair,

But within the fallen leaves of life,
she did unknowingly nurture
the growth of another,

And there you have it!
This tugs at my heart,
and brings much peace to my mind.

Kacy, this is just lovely!!!
