The Sky Will Help

…
Be near to what is alive
but cannot diminish itself with talk.
The sky will help;

it is one you have always known, but perhaps lost
beneath layers of dogma
and ambition
and busyness.
…
No, it is not a leap of the imagination,
nor a contortion of the mind;
but an opening, an awareness,
a realisation, an acceptance.
