Another of my best poems, this is about my father and all who love theirs as well....
My Wisdom's Pride

In the dense cave from which I stand
I see nothing but a black hole with no plan
I am sometimes lost and full of dread
I cannot sleep or eat fine bread
It seems that one end leads to another

I feel a need to crumble and hide
Leaving everything including my pride
But from the edge of potential doom
Comes hope that makes my breaking heart bloom

It is the crack beneath the rock
A simple light to guide my path
From it comes a wondering bat
It stalks me like a piece of bait
Leading me into my dreadful fate

But as I see the light full as the moon
Round and circular like a cocoon
The wisdom of a wolf prowls to defense
Who tears the bat with fangs so tense
He comes to my side to comfort thee

With triumph we both flee beyond the trees
To one day reach the sea of dreams
With my mentor, my wisdom's pride, my friend,
My one and only father.
