I feel you

When the glistening sunlight showers its warmth

I feel you embracing me,

When I see a shooting star leaving its trail on the sky

I see you descending for me.

 

When the mighty stars’ light penetrates through the cloud

I feel you twinkling above,

When a fresh morning breeze teases me with its charm

I discern your good wishes for me.

 

When I pass a playground and hear a child’s laughter

Nostalgia of our time grips me,

When the magical droplets of rain shimmer and dance

I feel you smiling and blessing me!

 

 

Author's Note

It is said that death can only touch the body and not the soul.

So this piece is penned in the memories of my late father.
Miss you, Papa!

Very moving poem. I truly believe people stay with us and remind us they are still there, even if they are gone. It's well written and softhearted. A beautiful use of words.

i would not have guessed this is for your Dad! ... i was thinking romance :)
i think this poem is one of your best .. it shows maturity and use of personifications is subtle and creates an emotive response in me ..nice one!
