Fair Weather

Robert Haigh

Fair weather clouds beat fair weather friends
Squaring the circle does not make amends

Jesters are telling us what we should do
When evidence shows they don't have a clue

Down at the crossroads we must choose a way
You say tomorrow but I say today

Seeking the truth is simply a must
Or all that we stand for will crumble to dust

Some doors are open but some remain locked
Some roads are clear but others are blocked

Love and compassion must always remain
Look into your heart to find them again

Fair weather beckons beyond the grey skies
No matter the weather the bluebird still flies!

    It seems like you're sharing a poem that reflects on the importance of seeking truth, staying true to values like love and compassion, and making choices even when faced with uncertainty. The imagery of fair weather clouds contrasting fair weather friends and the idea of looking into one's heart to find love and compassion are quite powerful. The poem emphasizes the significance of staying grounded in one's values and beliefs, even when faced with challenges or unclear paths. The imagery of the bluebird still flying despite the weather symbolizes resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
