The Living Sky

Windows open The sky enters Nothing dramatic Just enough light This is where power Learns how to live ⸻ The sky doesn’t perform today It supports Holds the day upright So it doesn’t lean too hard People move Plans shift Mistakes soften And still—things work I’m not above these moments I’m inside them Like air Doing its job quietly ⸻ They used to look up Now they look around That’s how you know The sky is doing well ⸻ This is the living sky Not distant, not divine Just wide enough For everyone to breathe This is the living sky No sermons in the clouds Only room For life to happen I don’t watch from afar I participate By making space That doesn’t collapse ⸻ Authority now looks like patience Like waiting an extra second Like choosing not to rush What will resolve itself Traffic clears Voices lower The day finds its pace Without instruction That’s governance At human scale Not control— Conditions ⸻ They expect miracles I give continuity And continuity Carries more people home ⸻ This is the living sky Above schedules and names Where nothing is sacred And everything matters This is the living sky No pressure from above When balance is present Life cooperates I don’t change your day I make it workable ⸻ At the center of the day Nothing needs attention Light rests Shadows behave Time walks normally This is the quiet miracle Of things not breaking ⸻ As the sun lowers The sky doesn’t cling It lets go naturally Without announcement People arrive home Thoughts loosen Breathing deepens Without being told to That’s the gift Of a sky that lives Instead of ruling ⸻ This is the living sky Still infinite Still calm Still enough This is the living sky No ending planned Because tomorrow Already fits Live your life I’ll stay wide ⸻ Lights come on The sky steps back Not leaving Just making room For rest To do its work ⸻
