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!

It's completely true that death touches only the body, the soul just leaves the temporary body and moves towards its destination.
This was such a heartfelt poem with the tender elements from nature so beautifully infused within it.
The deep emotions emanating from this poem will surely fly their way to your father :)

Thank you so much, Arshia.

I can only bet that your Dad has a reason to smile each time that he remembers your words. Perhaps he is sitting with another father not quite so lucky to have a daughter on Earth such as you!

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Thank you. Then I will wish he always keep smiling..
