Echoes of sorrow


Ah!
Things fall apart like a broken jar
Nature hypnotized me
Ceased to breath the air of life
Clouded by darkness
Colonized by fear
My ear lost it signal
Paralyses took over my able body
My thoughts, halted!
Fear served on a platter of gold
Nightmare in the wilderness
A beautiful death!
Shrouded in agony
Life is a distant dream
My mirror is shattered
My father!
The divine oracle of my existence
Kicked death in the face
The ultimate price He paid
Left us with sweet sorrow
The bitter truth
My Baba was no more.
I’m finished, battered
Loosing touch with reality
Sanity at risk
Life is misery
Dark tears
Baba is laid to rest.

    Painful and beautiful all at the same time. I am confused as to whether you mean God or your paternal, biological father???
