Father Forward Father Back

Does the apple fall far
A question posed
Impressionable youth
Larger than life

A trans-parent ghost
Flesh bone and blood
Here and there
In and out

Vanish like smoke
Sailing to nowhere
Selfish in exile
Brief memories fade

Prodigal man
Return to nothing
Minds of torment
Hearts well splintered

Glass houses shattered
Resolutions diluted
Time is the enemy
Vanquished within

Pictures in frames
Nameless faces
Eyes tightly shut
Silent phones wait

Alone on a floor
Day after day
Dust in a box
Hidden away
