Dad

The tarnished brass whistle lies in the corner as a testament that he was here...
Fading memories float like transparent leaves...
As I pass the mirror he sometimes glances at me only for a moment...
He is alive in my walk...
In the small nuances... 
In the summer breeze... 
In my aging heart...
