A Moment Alone

Love is something you know without reason or doubt. No need for coaxing your heart,Just bring it out. Sitting on the pier watching the sun as it sets. Your face reflecting off the water, a face I could never forget. Missing your sweet smile makes me feel so guilty. Butterflies flying in formation forming a sihouette of your face. Humming birds whispering your name, before flying into space. Tears form in my eyes as they run down my face. I never thought you would end up in this place. I grow closer and closer to going insane.Each and everyday I call out your name. I wish I could hold you my beloved father, and warm you with my love, as I look skyward toward to the Heavens, I pray to the Lord above. If jroday could have his way. These are the words he would probably say. The fear I once felt has long left my mine. Thou hath given me strength I couldn't find., God what a beautiful sight. Lovely enough to grace the halls of Heaven, on any given night. If I should go and leave you behind, focus on the future leaving the past behind.

The last thing he said to me was:

“Dovina! others may deprive you of your material wealth and cheat you in a thousand ways, but no man can deprive you of the control and use of your imagination. That's why I say nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere Ignorance and conscientious stupidity. I am sure that I'm going to get some kind of smart comment from someone, but understand! What people think of me isn't any of my business. And I would like for you to remember that my friend.”

I didn’t know how sick he was, and told him that I was going to think about “sincere ignorance” and “conscientious stupidity” because I believed they would have more to say in time. I am keeping that promise and hope those important words will soon ripen into something he would appreciate. I never met him except here on poemranker, but I believe he was a good man.
