"THE SKY"
by Becky Hemsley
He asked of me why it was raining
He asked was it tears from the sky
And I replied yes
That this was the case
That even the heavens can cry
He said it was hurting his ears
And I told him that sometimes
Even the clouds
Need to scream so that somebody hears
He asked of me what was the wind
And why was it whirling and swirling around
So I explained
Even the sky takes deep breaths
When it’s trying to calm itself down
Yet often, we keep our tears secret
And we swallow our own cries for help
And we think that it’s weak
To be catching our breath
So we don’t let our struggles be felt
And yet, if the clouds never emptied
If the sky never screamed through the storm
It would sit growing darker
And darker until
It was simply no use to us all
So throw all your fears to the wind dear
And toss all your tears to the clouds
And you will discover
The infinite power
The heavens hold over the ground
See, it’s normal and natural to struggle
And it’s healthy and human to cry
And if anyone questions
Your power my darling
Just tell them it’s matched by the sky
