I'm Losing You

another one for my beloved Johnny..as always he weighs heavy on my mind

I cannot hear you any more:
I have forgotten the sound of your voice
I awoke one morning,
and it was gone...
It shames me how quickly and easily it left me.
I have tried to recapture the precious sound of you-
but it escapes me.

I fear that I will lose sight of you too.
I desperately conjure up details of your face-
Trying to impress them upon my memory:
sky blue eyes, that light up when you are happy
smooth, square jaw
un-ruly hair
your smile, so wide and contagious
you open your mouth to laugh...

but I cannot hear you any more.

Sentiments that ring true when someone you care about is suddenly gone. Sometimes it seems a month is as a year and the memories have been blown clean away by the wind.

Sweet, soft words of love gone missing.

How easily you capture the way that i feel about my dad, as i try to keep his memory alive in my heart and mind. It will be 10 years, this November since his passing. The little things that made, my dad, dad. Thank you for helping me to recapture those memories that i thought lost to me.
