Consternation of Thoughts

consternation on the edges of dawn suddenly i needed you my heart heavy like the granite holding your name in my finger's trace the warmth of sun breaking through the fades of crimson trails the wind carrying leaves in spirals like emotions falling down my eyes crying yesterday's rains i stand here lingering in silent moments by your grave a whisper through the pines speaks to me then wraps me in its embrace i find comfort within perhaps you needed me too

Nothing like daddy's girl, i see it in my sister's, he never had much use for me, so I'm a moma's boy I guess typical. Sad that you are sad, tomorrow is a better day!

growing up neither of my parents were around, they both volunteered on the ambulance, they both worked, my mom ran on my dad and my dad went spying on her so we often spent lots of time alone...but once i was grown, my dad and i grew close, he was always there for me once they split... Thank you John...i have these days, i guess we all do :) hugs

This is a sad poem, my father was never a good dad, he was shepherd who forgot his flock.. glad you had a good dad..

My dad was good. My mom not so much, she would have been in your father’s flock ...until she was nearing death then she was a different person ... I guess we all need that one good parent at least and the missing pieces make for good poetry sometimes :) hugs

thank you my friend...i was living in shore points of jersey a couple years ago, and needed him, all of a sudden my friend who owns a hotel down there got a call from a client checking in, we had to leave the seafood festival for this person...well she invited them to church with us, and said he was a pastor and told me to guess where he was from, i said pa, she said my pa towns name, and i asked what church because we only have a couple...it was my dad's pastor...i know it was a sign... hugs

Thank you so much Vijay...my muse has been quiet a couple days...i pass the cemetery where my dad is 4 times a day, sometimes i just need to stop and chat...when he was here, he always had my back...always was there to talk to...i guess my muse was reaching for him too... hugs

Wow, this was powerful Sandy. Such a heart tugging poem that brings a tear to my eye but also a smile as the ending seems to bring one to you as well. This was amazing, your words are like soft echoes flowing across the fields, seeking a heart to touch.

thank you so much Chris... this time of year always makes me emotional...one time when i had the urge to speak with him and was living in another state, his pastor showed up where i was, and went to church with me and my friend who owned the hotel he booked his stay at.... what are the odds? i know it was a sign...i was daddy's girl...my tears are flowing ...thanks for such a heartfelt comment my friend :) hugs
