I am afraid that I missed this post.
Lovely words from Eric who sadly is no longer on Givnology;
The Abyss
And I stood
upon
the
ridge
the abyss stretching
endlessly
within
and I knew that I could
not yet
fly
with such weight
upon
my heart,
Shame
Fear
Anger
Judgement,
All lead
to the soul that yearns
for Gold.
Tears formed and fell
violent as a summer storm
and just as brief,
the storm subdued.
And so I stood
upon
the ridge
the abyss stretching
endlessly
within
and knew that I could
not yet fly
with such weight
upon
my heart,
So I gave my heart to love,
I leapt
and I flew.
