Sky Hooks

SKYHOOKS

They pulled me up when 
I was mired in a quagmire
of rules and regulations,
and helped me parry
the thrust of a bayonet
in the heat of a battle 
we never could win.
They showed me the path 
to everlasting love
when no one believed 
it could ever endure.
They guided my heart
on how to grow old
as nothing but a pile of dust.
Skyhooks can’t be seen
or touched, but they’re there
as sure as the nose on your face.
