This sky reaches down to embrace me

With ice cold hands it brushes away the fog

the smoke of fires lit far away caught on its breath, rising

as the world below dances

Somewhere in this night

is one who knows what it is to feel the world broken

one who has seen the wounds and the body within

the cracked bones disintegrating

blood draining steady and slow

yet who walks on the calm surface over chaos

smiling with each step forward

wondering which will finally break through

and bring about the fall into blood and shadow

On Saturday, Denver saw a record high for the month of September of 101 degrees Fahrenheit . Now, it’s starting to snow. I really don’t know what to say about that!
