A Father's Echo
The arrival of his departure
(A numb and cruel upheaval starter)
Was an emotional core rupture;
A final goodbye to her father.
She saw his final, last inhale,
That would never flow to release.
She saw his life light fade to pale
Before leaving to forever peace.
In time, she joyously came to know
His essence was such a sharp, strong force,
He could bend love air to a flowing echo
And send it resounding on sure course.
She soon knew his echoes had limits
For they do maintain, exist and hide
Behind the point of flesh blossoming to spirit,
During living years that ended in 1999.
He transcends, transmitting echoes of emotion.
Philosophy and love arrive clear as any symphony.
Father-echoes billow sounds of steady devotion,
Gifting glimpses of their once united family.
A father and daughter’s shared life’s chapter,
That his echoes strength saw captured,
Are the touching echoes of secure allure.
She is soothed by her father’s echo overture.
