LEANING HEAVY Leaning heavy into my heart… My mind brings you often to my lips; I pray for you… Son of my soul, Son of my choosing, lean all you want— I listen for you to speak, however silently or boisterously, Wishing for you to shed the demons— To embrace them only to the edge where you may throw them over and regain your footing… May your comfort be absolute. May your experience be intense; Love is worth every risk. dgvarner 2011 "...Never regret anything that made you smile..." |

Oh boy. Is this one ever from the heart and with a wonderful, personal message. I've been there with the demons. It took some mental strength, but I threw them over the cliff. Thank you for your wonderful, heartwarming poetry, dgvarner, ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
