Goodnight, My Daddy Love

Still, as ever forward motion; We are all dancers at the Edge of Time With inside information known to few... Consigned on stolen parchment... Just one last poem for my Father Who was supposed to live forever. But life betrays us all At the inimitable end...or beginning. Daddy, I loved you so; How did you become a mortal man While I grew up impossible Inside the shelter of your haphazard love...? You were never supposed to die. You promised me you were invincible... And your passing was my crucible Of pain and fire...and freedom. I never believed you well and truly gone Until tonight... When the sound of early thunder Did not frighten me Back into your strong arms.. And now... I can say good-bye, My Daddy love. Be at peace. Watch over me... Good night, I can now remember With out tears.... Good night.
