With a calm look
My father fades
Into the woods

With a wave of his hand
Saying son
There’s good hunting here

Follow me
I’ll show you where

This reminded me of the Six Feet Under series--in particular, the death of the character Nate, where he chooses to jump into the metaphorical ocean, symbolizing his death.

You do write beautifully John.

And since I seem to annoy you, I'll try to remain a silent reader from now on.

But I did enjoy the poem.

Thank you both

And SB you are wrong
What currently annoys me
is your failure to appreciate
that the people that mean so much to me
are already gone . . .
so the looks of others don't matter.

Thanks again

John

Nodding.

Understood now.

Because I think I need to stop counting my "goodbyes" and start saying "hello" again.

After all, there ARE a lot of empty chairs around.

Much love and luck to you.
