Light

‘I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.” —Lauren Eden The Lioness Awakens, Poems Light i swing in trees I can’t get down from i buried myself in leaves the branches of salt shine from Navy boots spoiled in adventure smiling as i jettison above sun i’m at home love my family the military the church i swing to the hereafter and generations will be kind to remember God the light in my eyes splashdown as i leap from the highest branch
