Why You Should Explore 'My Sky'
I have been writing poetry to cover all manner of life's ups and downs since I was a child. I have amassed quite a collection. I want to share these thoughts and feelings with the world around me and see how many others might be able to find comfort in knowing they aren't the only person who has felt 'that way.'
"My Sky"
I refer to everything that is in me as 'my sky.'
My Loved Ones are the clouds that throughout life float on by
Some blow through so quickly while others stay awhile
Each has their own purpose; each flows by with their own style
The sun it is my brightness and it lights up my way
The moon it is my solace and it pulls me forward when I stray
The stars are all my dreams and some burn very bright
Each providing hope to me that things will be alright
My sky is very beautiful and I give it all my best
For it gives me the energy I need and tells me when to rest
My sky, it comes together here in perfect harmony
And if I give respect to it then it will give respect to me
I need it to help me through the tough days; steer me down my path
The moon tells me when to cry; the sun tells me when to laugh
I need them both for balance and a sense of inner peace
And if I offer love to both of them their strength will never cease
Time has taught me many things although I often wonder why
But nothing is as precious as those things are in my sky
For the darkest days I've known tried so hard to make me weak
But I always find my sky when it is myself I seek
And the moon provides the comfort that I need to let it out
So when I wonder if I'll make it, my moon assures me not to doubt
For my sun will shine eventually and then it will be brilliant
For of all the things I am inside; my sky is so resilient
My clouds are always there for me whether there's a sun or moon
And if you deeply love any one, that cloud will pass too soon
Yet my stars as dreams shine brightly and encourage me to try
And of all the things I have I take the best care of my sky.
