Look Up

Peek into the Sky

by Rob Maxey

Peek into the sky, at night, look for truth we need

Pull the covers tight, escape into a dream

 

Behind the lids our eyes can rest, our mind with flourished thoughts

We feel the truth that lives within, shut out what day hath wrought

 

As the voices all at once had clouded up our day

In this peaceful dreamy state, we hear what good ones say

 

In our soul if that exists, or is just mind’s eye

The universe will speak, from the dark night sky

 

This voice, it never speaks of hate, nor love in that context

Just a reassuring breath, as one day becomes the next

 

Wash away the cluttered noise, replace it with a calm

A refuge from a darkened spot into the promised dawn

 

It smooths out the torment of a stormy sea

Puts us in a better place, lets us all believe

  





We all need to ground ourselevs in what is real, bc in this day, the truth is there, but most would rather "listen" to the hate filled jabs at those of a different mind
