I absolutely loved it! Your families struggles are part of my passion. I too have a son with very special needs. I thank you the only way a mother can… with love, courage and the will to keep striving for our children deserve nothing less. Thank you for your Veritas in Verse Chris! I am thankful 🥹✨🙏🏻✨
This is one of those poems where the final word quietly reshapes everything that came before it.
The language begins in the realm of witches and magic, then gently reveals that the deepest enchantment would simply be one uninterrupted stretch of rest. That shift carries a great deal of tenderness and honesty.
Sometimes the most powerful spells are the ones we hope for each night.
This is beautiful. That double meaning of "spell" carries so much, and the ending hit me — hoping for one uninterrupted stretch of rest. Thank you for sharing something this honest. Carried with care!
Beautiful thoughts as well as verse. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks for reading!
