Hello all.... I thought that today I would share a poem with you that I wrote about 6 months ago... I wrote it about my dad and me.

Its as if I saw

His last breath fly

-out into the universe

I saw it in the stars

In the wind it gently

-Evokes my tears

it slipped through my hands

as I leaned in to kiss it

- now I chase it

tackling the slow

melancholies of

-my memories

what was is now

as the child in me

-reaches out to grab

and push the breath

back in

-that it may never end

shoved down my throat

is the ache

-that is building its castle

it crumbles on me

while I search

-to find the remnants

of the picture

before it was ripped

-my tongue cries out

I lick each torn piece

Hands shaking

To put it back together

The gaze

Of each face before me

-Envelops my body

Lifts it to the moon

Where light thins into darkness

And the breeze brings me back

-my breath….
