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
