When We Close Our Eyes
by HeavyHeartedandTheHardwire
Dear Dad,
We close our eyes, and we retreat
too a very special place-
Away from worry, away from doubt, downwards
familiar teardrops trace.
so, when I see you, sleeping –
the Phone right by your seat-
I cannot help but lay parallel, with you-
& forego my frantic defeat.
I cannot help but lay with you
& Join your slumber deep,
Knowing that one day when you leave this earth-
that we can always meet in sleep.
Love, Eric
