Stilled On frozen ground, stood I, staring into gray skies above feeling only the cold blowing. Wondering if my thoughts rode the wind to him, what he would say. Each time I visit, my worries are deeper, my frowns more pronounced, my tears ever flowing. Today, sobbing, I stood, afraid to face him, looking down to the ground, shaking. Then everything stilled. The winds calmed. Able to look up, I leaned in, fingers tracing his name, my name once. Thinking how I missed saying goodbye and how hard it is to do so, even today. I asked for a miracle, but deep down, he can't help me now. If only he knew what was happening, was here to listen, to advise, to support. He believed in me, watched me grow, embraced my changes, understood my moods, measured my strengths, valued my reality and loved me in reserve. Tonight I am wishing, if only in memory, a Father's Day of happiness to my own and for all to share in. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |
