Poem Commentary

This poem is about a request from my father that I did not honor...not knowing he would be gone the next week. In this life, we have only one chance. Love, Peace and Tolerance

Out Of Touch

The last words he said rang like bells of awakening
like thunder rolling on a hot summers night with no escape from the torcher of it's inhabitants I've wrestled with those words for years on end wishing I could hear them once more

but no...just the crickets outside my door 
buying time with their melodic tunes of annoyance once so engulfed in the rapid paced world my world has slowed down to an unfamiliar pace sensitizing my desensitizing nature which I hid for so long

now on display like an art show for the side show
I call ..."My Life"
the last words he said was a question that I denied required answers of emotions, but I lied not realizing I was awaiting our lost time just a moment in thought, wish I could unwind yet I find myself re-living it simultaneously as I live an awakened zombie from the pain within his words will haunt me forever until I forgive, just not worthy of such a gift
