Changes in Time

Sometimes a feeling has to begin without

To strike the chords within

The daydream where I walk is paved in memories

Love 

Bittersweetness of life 

My feet do not touch the ground 

Though the weight within my heart seeks 

To sink me... 

I have this body

But the disconnect that separates 

These thoughts

This heart 

Are worlds apart

Dragging on with diligence and devotion 

Into a sea of magnitude

I feel driven to empty the contents within

Yet so withdrawn 

I cannot even fathom the distance between 

A calmness soothes 

The noises surround fuse

Becoming a sweet bite of life 

Walking ever closer

Always nearer

You.

I Love You, Dad

The evening light 

Of starlit night

Waits quietly in awe

To put to bed 

The restless head

Of those who fret and toil

Stand fast and near

My love, my dear

This shall also pass

As waves of sea

Depart from me

So, too, will you in time

Change of tides

Love still abides

Always keeping us together.
