Poem
“Thin, I think, that fabric between realities. Maybe minds aren't lost. Maybe they just slip through and find a different place to wander.” - C.J. Tudor ~ I shan't yet my dear father find For age has robbed him of his mind He works at grasping from the air The careful tasks that are not there One time his life was quite precise No straining Id no hooking vice Integrity worth brags and boasts Yet now he sits engaging ghosts It's strange that I can I find it odd For never did he once applaud A deed or act that gave me pride (Oh true it crushed me deep inside) I struggled so to reach the man While all our courses empty ran But as I begged to be his friend Too great the distance in the end I'll never know this man you see Though few I love as dear as he For tho' his best was not enough He taught me love by being tough So now his spark has up-and-gone This brilliant man I hoped upon No grace is his this sad goodbye No answer mine the question ... why?!? ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Writing Challenge 2, July 2019 - Melancholy" Poetry Contest, Dear Heart, Judge & Sponsor.
