Musing

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Musing.

 

Half-awake and stranded between the old
day and new,

coming tomorrows may look leviathan,

loom like clouds

of sharp-sharded, unreliable giants where
trust becomes sun-leathered

with nowhere to hide,

muscle-bound and most of the time

muddy-eyed.

Yet after a sip of memory's comfort I can
shake weighty foreboding and

see where truth's rise

has been leading events,

toss off stifling clothes and walk more 
upright into the future,

shoulders high.

Facing fate with anticipation I find myself

able to smile at being alive 

and for having been gifted with love,

life's battles then lose a bit of their scary
sting as I dip grateful toes

into the moment.

Past moves have everything good going
for them I muse,

while I notice

the sky above is becoming blue.

    "Blue skies, nothing but blue skies, coming my way".

    No matter what is thrown, faith is enduring and recollection of past battle reinforces steadfast faith.

    Nonetheless your words speak of the worries and torment within as we balance fate and faith.

    Beautifully written as per.

    Good to record this and play it back with closed eyes Fay.
    Reminds me of Mnemosyne's daughter, Erato.

    Ex animo, Alan
