LOST (for dad)

when i lost you,

To say am sorry,

To prove my love's worth;
'lost the chance
To cover your nakedness
And most of all;
The chance to say goodbye....

Travelling as light

But not without a strife
Buying up every moment

As dreams helplessly slip by....
Being impossible to harness.

The wind called and again, it spells doom
In its fury hopes were humbled
Emotions were wrecked beyond repairs;
Beyond every measure of amends....
I am faintly, weary of its wake
It ravages on recklessly;
Exhausting every spur of faith

The wind called and it spells doom,
Against all; you and i,
As we wrestle against its tide
Our zest is impaired,
Though we hinged on,
