strong, till you

there's something about
the way i was pulled
inside out
turned and twisted
yes, even spine tingles
you know the kind
how they run up the back
over the arms
and dance across the heart
of the matter
you
have taken what was last of
the last
breath and i am sitting with
my hands braced for the fall
when you
speak and i will
because like the mighty oak
i was strong...
till you

(big angel hugs) This is powerful, sweet friend, a friend should always make the roots stronger and bud with flowers and not let the gale uproot the tree into the sky! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Snow, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It’s amazing how much of our life force
someone can sap out of us...

I’m sorry you’re going through this
Snow.

You dig those roots down deep now
okay?

And if I see you start to teeter... I’ll
lend you some support until you get
stronger alright?

I mean that way I could do my part in
helping to preserve the woodlands,
you know...

But most importantly... because I care...

Enjoyed the poem!
