I know the week can feel so long,
Days scuff along on heels worn.
It can be hard to stay aloft in the sky,
Winds cut seams into open hearts torn.
Leaves turn in as you twist up to ask why,
Why does the sun hide to let the cold ride strong.

Is your purpose lost behind today'sΒ clouds?
Is your heart stuck in yesterday's sun?
No need to pine for the past.
Seek life forward to make it last.

The sky never truly falls.
It wanders and weaves through us all.
It whispers truth and waits to be near.
Even as winds die and rains appear.
The sky is just a show of your clear hues.
It's time's clothing in its best blues.

Clutch Life
Catch the wind to breathe it's life.
Hold Dark
Its sun-drenched clouds seep light into our gentle smiles.
Lead Fear
Cold winds love to push us hard over those granite miles.
TapΒ Love.
In time, all heavy snows weep and melt in a slow sweet while.

Give life's nectar and stings its proper due.
Sip its droplets til your lips drip pure.
Taste it's extract of sweet smooth dew.
Bend green twigs to tweak your fate and go far.
Endure its barbs and cuts to age strong scars.
Share a bench aside your dark shadows to see your true stars.
Tease it's winds of silent noise to tweak your sundial.
Feel life's web of deep love soak and blanket you.

As you learn to fulfill your life.
Its rain, its shine, all its might.
Know your sun's core holds all.
On days of slow motion snow.
Those days you feel your gentle fall.
Melt down what you feel and know.
Sip the sweet light awaiting your whims.
Let its warm winds caress your heart's skin.
On odd off days dance light to raise your shine.
On old dead days open inward to touch your kind.
Reach deep to your warm glow beat inside.
As you pine for smiles gloating in the sky.
Let them simply float high astride.
Their smiles gift you love outside.
Inside you, deep and warm, is love's true high.
For my children, wishing you a father's love of warmth, strength and protection as you live and lean into your life fully forward.
