It's The Same Sky

It's been exactly a year since my last Write, crazy

It's the same Sky

And My Mama she holds me Still

But My Heart wonders Why

That I have lost the Thrill

I don't have an Answer

Nothing makes sense Anymore

I think I'm in Danger

But you know I'm not really Sore

It seems that the Stars

Don't shine as Bright Anymore

All these rushing Cars

Don't stop at my Door

Will I fall from this Dream

Or am I captured in This

Please wake me with your Scream

That I might return to my bliss

I'll find my way Back

As I have so many times Before

But maybe I Lack

The courage to open that Door

I hear you Shouting

But I fear to open my Eyes

Afraid of My Doubting

Can I forgive all of My Lies

Oh so many Lessons

That I should have Learned

So many lost Sessions

So many Bridges I Burned

Is there still Hope

For this lost Child on the Road

Will I find a way to Cope

Until I can leave this Heavy Load

My Brothers and Sisters are here with Me

As we step through the Gate

Mama and Daddy

I'm sorry I learned how to Hate

To All of My Children

Know all the Love my Heart holds for You

What a Blessing you've All Been

Forever is All I can Promise to You

To the One that Blessed Me with her Heart

I don't know how God figured I deserved You

It just doesn't matter if it All goes Dark

Because the Light that we've carried is the only thing True

The Sky is still the Same

And My Mama she holds me Still

Now they whisper rise above All your Shame

We've prepared your place here on our favorite Hill

I'm thankful for this Life

Grateful for All that it's taught Me

Sometimes sharp as a Knife

But I have Always Been Free

I'm not Afraid of what's Coming

Cause I think I have Always been There

With my Father Sunning

And My dear Mother so Fair

This seems to be a scream for release and has made me pause more than one as I've read your words twice. That said, your words tell a tale worth remembering, there is something special here.. worth remembering.

You seem to be concerned with the now and future, yet happily and contentedly blessed with a history and all the feelings of and for the people you love inside it.

Perhaps you are etching the You who once was, a reminder of the energy you maybe miss as time goes on. Whatever your reason for writing what I feel is true, your words touch and teach how to both give and receive true love.

Sadly beautiful wording, sir.

My dear Emma, my daughter had a very close cat by that name for about 9 years, she was a fraddy cat. It is Lovely to be visited by You today. It's the Same Sky - it seems like years ago now, these past 10 months have been not my favorite ride at the carnival, but on the Mend now, feeling stronger each day, working my exercise. Jen and I planted a Willow where a couple dying cottonwoods were for years by our little creek in the front yard. It's the Same Sky was created just after I raised myself from the dead. I had a prostectomy done on May 4, 2023 - It was completely Cancerous - my PSA was 46 - the scale for it is 0 - 4 and when I had my first PSA done in Dec 2022 - it was 46 and my doc said if it's above 10 chancers were 50/50 ya had cancer. After the surgery - I was only getting up to go to the bathroom basically I was pretty much emotionless , but on the 8th - I got up and I did not go back to bed until it was bedtime. Then in the middle of the night like 3am - I wrote this poem, In Bed, on my phone, On FaceBook. - After another week, I really came back to Life, and it kept improving - Oh, I forgot to mention this - That was May 11, 2023 - when I looked at my previous write it was May 11, 2022. That shows how depressed I had gotten with that Cancer in me. the journey in my Health - has still been a struggle but I'll save the rest of the Story for another review by my favorite of All REviewers - You See into my Writes so very well. Do you see into Yourself equally - are you doin' the work to improve on the One you are becoming - Do you See Changes that make you smile - and finally - did you get married dear Emma - you Added green on your cafe Name. Do you know I am Healing Star here - but my Name is Gary Frisk - and my Papa's name for me was Ginx - and my Big Brother Steve (Beaver) made sure that name stuck like glue - that everyone called me Ginx growing up. May the Long Time Sun Forever Shine down on You , And May the Pure Light within You - Guide You On - May that Light Guide You On to Find Your Heaven On Earth - as the One told us We could do - There Is Only One Heart - One Mind - One Pure Eternal BEing - And WE are All Connected through Our Hearts to ALL - We Are One. Blessings - Blessings Blessings and thank you for this heartfelt and soulful review Dear Emma.

emmajoy - I just looked up where you live and you are only 150 miles from where my grandpa's (I think Great Grandpa ) was from - Cornwall way out on that West Peniunsula. This is my garndpa on my Mom's side - His name was Pascoe - very British name. He and most of my uncles and my Dad all worked in the Iron mines in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. IT is all above the Michigan Mitten. It is very very white there in Winter - Lovely in Summer - and Very, Very Very colorful in Fall.

Maybe it's the S.W of the UK that guides our mutual understanding, sir! Your recovery from hell is a miracle; that you and your family know after going through the stress and more of it. I truly do hope and pray you now find those special blessings for yourself and all those you love. The area you mention at the end of your review reads beautiful. :)

PS - what is a 'fraddy' cat?! My American are still very
lacking!

[Healing Star]

IT's simple, It's Afraidy cat - but probably not really spelled like this- but more I'm spellin how I say it phonetically -- Anyways, it's an Afraid of everything cat - Anxious about anything new in it's environment - stays in it's space - I only saw emma out twice when my daughter laura lived with us for about 4 years, and it just Froze - like she's thinking I am Invisible , and I just turned and she probably stayed just like that til Laura found her ha hah ha

Loved this poem. It's emotional . Good work 👍

[Healing Star]

there's a reason why it's so emotional. for 7 days I got out of bed only 2 - 4 times after an operation to remove a Cancerous organ from my body. On the 8th day I got up and stayed up, That night at 3 in the morning I wrote this on my phone in bed on Facebook. It's go I raised myself from my death bed in it.

You are welcome my dear friend.

A sensitive write. Your stanzas remind me of how my parents loved me and how I also love as a mother and grandmother. Through thick and thin, I could not desert them. There will be good and bad times. We grow in strength with the bad. Thank you for sharing your work. I enjoyed my visit.
