the requiem
I woke up tired. Sleepy and itchy eyes.
Where were you? I saw you earlier in a field near home.
You were helping me gather the crops.
I wish you had told me your thoughts.
I sensed something was wrong but you already knew you were gone.
You were so brave and courageous you didn't say a thing.
I love you Dad. Thank you for being so strong and courageous...
Extreme and outrageous.
You taught me everything.
And then you disappeared into the night, with a beautiful song like a swan would sing.
As it passed into the evening light.
Still shining bright.
