The Sky-Father Who Brought Light to the World
Pushed the sky up. Still holding it.
My back is the spine of the world. I took the weight so all things could grow into the light. Not many know what it means to tear apart your parents' love, even for a reason. I live with it. I walk among the trees I raised, listen to the birds I set free, and feel the storms my brother still throws at me. Still, I hold. Still, I grow.
What I'm Into: forest breath, birdsong at dawn, stormy family drama, carving wisdom into wood, first human hands
