beauty took your eyes as we flew the dark skies a fated brief juncture our smiles shared absent their disguise an iridescent shine in the night never counting in time the view of our dreams nibbleβs like soft rain brush tender on my face this place I keep safe to be forever mine a wager with the devil paid with free will to know why beauty took your eyes

When I was a child my father was just short of a Hero. Tall, strong and young. As we get older Dads become so normal and we see them as just human. I myself have refused to grow old as long as I can. My Father is 79 years old he is no longer the young man but an older version I barely recognize. Yesterday I paid my dad a visit, I can now look him in the eye's he has lost inches of his height. No longer the vision of youth. Our visit was good and talking to him I can still see a glimpse into the Dad of my youth. He speaks of my mother and his beloved second wife most the time I was there, they are both deceased. When I left I stopped briefly to write this line. " Beauty took his eyes, their almost all he sees, besides me " If you are still reading I thank you and God Bless
