Do you know what's got me thinking today?

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.
