Father Sun and Mother Sky

4/10/2021

 
simple sketch of sad girl


​she wanted all the suffering to cease
and for there to be eternal love and peace 
but the earth was sick and old
and there was trouble everywhere
on the ground, in the sea and even in the air
it seemed it was all just ready to burn
and she knew not where to turn




​reaching out she prayed
she knew not why
placing her hand against the sky
her fingers opened wide
Picture


​of course she could not hold the sky 
but she found the sky held her
all the way inside
​
Picture


​Father Sun and Mother Sky 
had a child within her heart
that opened like a flower
and there she found love and peace 
and also strength and power
