Recovery Sunrise
for my Dad*
my pen it prays for gratitude
while dawn is drawn and calls awake
my heart, in an emphatic mood,
to noble words when there's a stake.
The light still waits
So pen with ink for blood and food
silent invocation make.
Oh heart with intercessor's attitude
become the role for grandest sake...
in light I wait.

ReplyDeleteThere is a richness and depth with this poem. It's personality is almost religious. I think I am still just on the surface of understanding the full depths of it since I don't know your father; perhaps, it means more to you as the poet, than to me as the listener. Writing just for yourself can be an amazingly cathartic task
