Echoes of My Soul - Missing Father

Last evening there was a sense of restlessness, I wasn’t able to grasp why this abjectness; The sun was slowly dying in a goodbye to a father, The pain once again manifested my grief to gather; I wish he could’ve lived and loved eternally and forever, I’ll walk miles to love him and be loved again allover, The clouds amass as the shadows come out to play: Inevitably the creeping night smothers out the day, A beast howls in aloofness as darkness pitches black… Doubts start to peep behind life, tend to double back; But living goes on and on and it happens ev’ryday, Memories lie stored in the mind refusing to die away; How do I mask my vulnerability and my truth? I was a natty little child with emotions for him to soothe: Father time lumbers on tapering my living soul to cope, The stars blink, in a flicker of light as I still hold on to hope!
