SON'S DEMISE.

A FATHER TALKS TO HIS DEAD SON.

Some days
it seems
so unreal-

your demise-

as if it
hadn't happened
at all,

was just some
weird dream
that repeats
night after night

and that when
you awake
every thing's all right;

but it's no dream-
a nightmare maybe-

because it's real-
your demise-

I saw it all
before my eyes

my son-

the bright lights
within you

going out
one by one.

The emotion within your words is staggering, as the short breaks of your lines lend such a raw and bittersweet feel of your pain. Terry, this is most beautiful...truly!

Bless you!

13 months on and it is still raw. Maybe, after the inquest i may be able to move on a bit. Thank you, Kelly, dear. x
