Remembering My Dad
You silently live in my subconscious
as I sleep, buttressing my optimism.
When I awake, I am surprised
by a major miracle—
I am the essence of your smile.
Inexplicably, your voice
like ripe, sun warmed fruits
resonates inside my head and
beats my heart like a drum,
consuming me softly and gently.
Your presence is palpable like
the tides in the sea; never ending.
You touched me with artistic splendor
and I will pour out everything inside me
so that your memory will be fortified.
Dad, you left me your music
written with notes of benevolence.
You are the eternal flame inside me
that causes every cell to twinkle
like starlight.
Death is no enemy, but the foundation
of gratitude, sympathy, and art.
Your love will linger long after
the wind has erased your footprints
from the universe.
