Clairvoyant

Clairvoyant 

 

 

dust to dust

his smile,

the deep set eyes

the bones of a man

the structure of the face

dust to dust

voice of ash

still resonates from the churning urn

the fiery manner,

discerning 

the feeling of a Father's love

deeply set in a heart

and in the bones of a son.

A strong bond between a father and his son. A touching read. Death does not break that bond, he is still with you in your DNA. He flows in your blood. They do not leave us, our parents.

this is touching; your father's influence is inevitable, and this is evident physically when you resemble him, no matter how much you may look down upon him

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh i revered him...looked up to him much...he was a good man...
thank you for your words, Cascara...

Sometimes we can look into our parents eyes and see our own future. Everyone gets old, it's rarely graceful in the end. It's sad and tragic. Because you will miss them and become them one day. This was beautifully written.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, we do become them in the end, don't we?
thank you, Ana.

Such a beautiful, moving poem, Jacob. The love of a father transcending ash and filling the bones of the son. "voice of ash still resonates from the churning urn."This is how your poem has touched me- Love passes through your words from father's ashes to the son to the reader's memory of her father's love passing to her grom the grave. Thank you for this beautiful write.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your very kind words, Mary,

To pen something so beautiful and so moving must overwhelm your heart. I know it does mine, simply knowing how much you are hurting.

It's so stirring, Jacob...and the title couldn't be better suited.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kindness, Kelly.
