"My son, my son, where did you go? Did the Lord take thy spirit up to heaven for his eternal glory, Or does thy soul linger in the vast emptiness of purgatory? A place lost to time, where His light does not show. Father, I pray thee, where is he? I am no Abraham, and he no Isaac, But flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone, Not fathers of faith, just followers of stone Paths laid before us in reality known. Where did you take him, oh Lord? Do tell, so I may sail the Stix and find his spirit myself  And return him to this realm. How I wish to embrace him, and never let him go as if he were a babe  At my breast once again. Why did you take my son from me, oh Lord? Did you not feel the pain of yours when he was on that cross? When thorns burrowed,  And his brow furrowed,  Begging for mercy as he faced the sin of the world. You, oh God, held the comfort that his return was near, But what have I? No son, no hope, no reassurance. Why must I be scorned for my condition, And why must he settle the debt, of which you set After you completed creation? What of those like me, like Mary? Blessed with a gift, Greater than our minds understand for it to be ripped From us brutally by your will. Though the actions were carried by flesh, It was you who let them possess such dark intentions to rift  Through the sacred bond of parent and child. So now, in my funeral clothing, I shall commit my last sin, In hopes to see my son again.  So below I will go, and there up above, In search of my love, To make my heart whole once more."

Herons have captured my attention lately. I love their feathers and shapes.

I don't know who needs to hear this but your brain is lying to you and you don't need to wait until there's a round number on the clock to go the fuck to bed or start that project or eat a meal.

Get up and do it now.
