Ode to a Father I Once Had
Alive but long gone
I long for something
I had long ago, I long for my father
He sometimes visits me in my dreams
And I am reminded why we no longer speak
I long for the days I had his love
Unconditional
Profound
The days I made him proud
Today I sit with all my failures
And I long for something
Security, sanctitious
Sometimes pernicious
And today, I sit with it again.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
