Just to Let You Know
Sojourner “Hughes” Davidson
You survive
Even when death
Crawls close
Feels more
A comfort
Than a mystery
You chose
To survive
Your heart is so big
I know it’s bursting
It’s hard to say that
It will never be easier
To have a heart so big
It’s okay to tear a little
It’s okay to be a bit
Over stuffed
Let your soft heart
Stay soft
Let your presence be
Strong
Like a bird
Like a song
Soaring
A message
In your talons

There’s something powerful about how this speaks without explaining. The nearness of death is acknowledged, but you don’t rush to solve it or soften it. That restraint feels intentional and deeply human. I’m especially struck by the way you allow a heart to be “over stuffed” and still worthy of staying soft. It reads less like advice and more like presence. That quiet steadiness lingers.
