A Piece of Sky

[swiftsnowmane]

Father,

 

I may be falling

through clouded skies,

broken

and bloodied,

weighted

with the horror

of unholy revelation,

but it is you

who fell long ago

from far greater heights.

 

Father, 

 

you may be standing

against the faded stars,

shackled

and suffering,

bowed

beneath the burden

of long-held darkness,

but it is I

who blaze

with undimmed light.

 

Let go

of your hate,

Let go

of your fear,

Let go

of your shrouded lies,

and I promise –

 

I will be there

I will catch you

 

and together

we will find 

our own piece of sky.

 

 

 

— t.f.b.c.

Wow! Just...wow! Thank you for the detailed response (which makes a bucketload of sense). I am sorry I cannot reply as this deserves to be replied to right now (RL), but I'll try to do so as soon as I can (Wednesday probably). I hope that is all right with you. And again, thank you for taking the time to write this.

You are so welcome - it's my absolute pleasure! :)

And no worries at all, there is no rush -- I totally understand how crazy RL can be. :D
