Dearest father…
You didn’t deserve such a fate,
Golden soul held in hurricane.
Kind spirit torn asunder,
Picked across by scavengers.
Never change.
Carry these spirits forwards,
Unto new dawns.
I’ve watched the carnage of your abuse,
Suffering in exponentials.
Hard truth.
Benevolent trickster spirit,
Choosing paths of peace.
Standing tall amidst the ruins.
Thy generous heart,
Shining beacon of what tomorrow could look like.
I’m beyond you now,
So hold my hand.
You rescued hundreds –
It’s your turn to be saved.
