a visit

     
I miss you dad      
       
lonely shadows cast      
in an empty room at noon      
your chair sits in the corner      
the grandfather clock chimes      
a cherished part of you      
       
when I was in trouble      
I remember slowly      
cleaning its intricate carvings      
left to ponder my mistake      
       
you keep me company today      
my mind wanders      
into dangerous grounds      
       
you sit with me patiently      
like you did when I was small      
& ill in the middle of the night      
I'm sick now      
       
you've come from your place in the cosmos      
to give me an encouraging voice      
tell me quietly        
       
"leave the drink alone      
you are your most vulnerable        
to bad spirits when drunk"      
       
"they will seek to overcome you      
steal your power      
thrash & destroy your soul"      
       
"you have your marching orders      
this is war keep vigilant soldier      
in this world you have defeated many demons"      
       
"keep an eye out for me      
I will be there to greet you      
when your time here is done"
