Echo Enduring Empty Contest

"Losing a parent in their early sixties can be a terrible, heart-dark feel, but never a love loss deal" ... Poet

The arrival of his departure (A numb and cruel upheaval starter) was an emotional core rupture; a visual goodbye to my father. I saw his final, last inhale that would never flow to release. I saw his life light fade to pale before leaving to forever peace. In time, I joyously came to know his essence was such a strong force, he could bend love air to a flowing echo and sound it when I needed him most. I feel sure my father's echo has limits. Souls exist in spirit realms, so echo assists must be supremely granted gifts. At times I feel soak in the depths his visit.

This is a great poem. I can understand females are attracted to fathers. It's different with me. I was mummy's boy. Still a great poem.

Wow CayCay, this is a treasure and so beautiful. I too was with my dad when he took his last breath, that was so hard, and hard to remember without heartache. The echo of his love is also still with me. We obviously both had good fathers <3 Your dad would be so happy to read your words, it shares with the world that he won a precious trophy of a beautiful and uplifting poem from the hand of his daughter :) Lovely!!

Darling, that's your take away? Not goosebumps, not comfort from proof of spiritual world existence, not the power of love even in death? OK, my logical, beloved, Virgo, you felt my words w/ your head, not your soul. I really wish you were here with me, RIGHT now ... loving you ... CayCay

I can so relate to your emotions, dear Cay Cay. Sometimes I too feel that I sense the echo of my parent's love, especially when I am all to myself. Though our parents are gone, their love guide us. I can feel your deep devotion for your father who left you at a relatively young age. All the Best in the contest.

Thank you for such tender comments. I understand memory echoes, but I'm referring to him coming to me once when I was in crisis, his voice saved all, his echo was verbal. SO uplifting and spiritually reassuring. I've read souls can visit earth's loved one's after seeking spirit permission, and only on rare occasion (studied such after the experience). Blessings ...

interesting that one of my poems is titled "Echoes" and offers up the echoes of my mother's spirit. Lovely words. Yellow Rose

It is wonderful you felt so deeply for him. Beautiful tribute, Caycay. I wish I could have felt this strongly for my biological dad as well as stepfather. Both died after age 70. It's so cool you can still feel your dad's echo!

I have not forgotten your Dad history, was 'with you' when you biological Dad passed. I knew reading this would take you there, but we can't avoid such in life. Come back ... CayCay

Thank you for reading. BUT, it isn't sad when a Dad still Father's you from heaven. Earth missing him, yes, that's sad. Took this poem from one of my journals, wrote poem after 'experiencing' him. She said 'echo' and my mind went straight to this poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks, it's true. Dad had been gone 2 yrs when I got a crisis call at work. My son who was going thru epilepsy, had turned red, lost balance & passed out at school. Crying, scared, & 30 min away I drove. Heard, "CayCay", "Dad? can't be, but it's your voice" Again and again he repeated my name then I heard "go to pharmacy" I said "what, why?" But I did, I trusted what I felt. Turns out the pharmacy had overdosed him by 100mg on his seizure med. Dad gave an answer and relief. Most wonderful, most spiritual world and earth love confirming, and more. CayCay
