I Grieve

Heaven gives. Earth takes.

My heart is heavy from the stories I cannot tell.

I hold on to these stories because they are my only possession in a world that keeps taking.

I thank the heavens above for finding me worthy. I thank the earth below for keeping me humble.

The stories I carry are the roots that help me touch the sky.
