Father´s Day

June 20th 2021

River of Tears

Waves of grief engulf my breath

Tempests of salty tears

Bursting at the seams

Such intensity of loss

My mind is scared

My thoughts scattered

Leaves in the whirling void

Of nothingness

I miss your hands

I miss your quirkiness

I miss murmuring in your ear

I miss holding your hand

I miss hearing about your night

I miss fixing your computer

I miss feeling loved

Unconditionally

I ache for you

The tenderness of your heart

The safety of your presence

The steadiness of your love

I feel gripped by loss

Taking hold of my chest

Immersed in an unknown

I wish I could decipher

For now, I trust there is more

More to come and feel

More to rejoice and celebrate

More to gratefully remember

More than what we are here

Dressed in our human shields

Exposed to the Continuum

of Existence
