The thunderous applause resounds in silence
in the still of my lonely hollow room.
I wait for unusual laughter but none
will break through the despair of the empty space in my heart.
I find it calm and tranquil outside my raging heart
that is yearning for another glimpse of you.
How is it I fail?
How is it I’m turned so far from home?
I reach out for another touch into an expanse of melancholy.
How can I get my next breath?
How can I see beyond the enclosure of my mind,
to get another look at you?
I strain to see, but seeing doesn’t come without light.
The light in my heart is dim.
My focus is blurred by tears
until I can see nothing at all.
Heaven has applauded your return
while I have mourned your departure.
Is there any resolve in me to go on?
You have left it with me.
Your life, your love, your perseverance;
that is what will see me through.
Thanks Dad.
