THE DIVIDING LINE OF FATHER AND SON

My son, my only son, my beautiful son

Where was that dividing line

that separated son from father, you from me?

And let an unwise imagination overwhelm our common sense 


Do you still have a sense of the line?

between connection and disconnection of

my father’s love and your dissatisfaction?        

The bane of continued filial disaffection


But necessary, I presume, for the son to grow and mature

reality embodies the will to live and be loved

but maybe not from an over protective father

especially if the father’s love is all consuming


Sometimes a father’s love chokes the son beyond gall

destroying the essence of a father’s intentions in the process 

but such is life, the old philosopher says

life carries on but better without fatherly burdens on a son’s back


Life is elegant, generous and beautiful when embraced by a father’s love

as is sublime aweness of supreme spirituality

though irrational it’s difficult to define but you can sense the beauty of it

though hard to put your finger on


A sense of beauty in the love that can’t be explained

only lived to appreciate, to feel and needed to move forward

a forward thrust in the world to mature and perhaps gain wisdom

needed for posterity for fathers and sons to grow closer
