Rest in Peace





















Your steps I follow
My feet sink in the sand
. .and through my toes
the blood red of my future merges with your past

As far as I see there is no glimmer, only the darkness of your scowl
that guides me in my search for your acceptance

Nor a hint of hope or word of praise as I struggle to make my way
through the quagmire of your despair

I must be shackled to your shadow and I cannot break free

All I ask is for a chance to make this future mine, but your testament
to the past will remain the reality of my future

In the eyes of a young child, I now see how afraid I was

I’m sorry dad, but I cannot find your smile.
