Family Fractals (Awe to Awe)

I was conceived on my dad�s date of birth: 9/1.
And I, being all his son -
Was born at 9:01,
After various precarious

Things�

I see this as a sign of grace,
For reasons forbidden to disclosing.

The first time he saw my face,
He was incarcerated�

And�

I had his father�s face,
(Who, a few months later would pass)

Which�

Slowly� �Very slowly�

Became� �

Me.

A powerful omen,
According to a medicine man.

Then�

Our life paths proceeded to show
Uncanny resonance

The same things happening
At the same times, in the same cadence.

O

To stare deep into the design
Of space and time

Even for the briefest of glimpses
Results in protracted

Lapses

Of

Awe
To
Awe

Exacted.

Author's Note

My father was a great man.

Although he never tried to be my friend,
he was the best friend I ever had.

I often think of the a lot of the
conversations we had.

Recently I have received
very thought provoking perspectives, pertaining to... Death?

Well...

Tis an extensive and perhaps unending
conversation?

But recently I have thought of the
concept of "pennies from Heaven".

I have experienced empirical evidence
of such a thing.

My dad said he would send treasures
from the afterlife.

And I have seen evidence,
amongst his many associates.

Nevertheless...

I was just... �recently thinking about these things.
