Turtle Moon

I know I will never again see her
But I saw her once
High in a dark red haze of effervesce
Amazed by her own existence
In a perfection of blinding sparks
A newborn reaching for her father
Pleading with all it’s blatant bother
Saying please don’t ever be lonely
She watches over me
Ever so slowly floating

 

It was the wild sea
And light cascading through an open hole
A rainbow of Heaven igniting my eyes
Like fireworks out of control
Was the bubbles of laughter from a Childs plea
In the carnival of life after
She said please don’t ever be lonely
She watches over me
Ever so slowly floating

 

It was the birth of the girl I watched over
It was when she first reached for my hand
It was when she first wore glasses to school
And used words only Daddy could understand
　
Daddy did there watch her cry
As sea foam tickled my ankles
Daddy did then watch her die one day
As mother ocean then pulled back away
She watches over me as I pray
Ever so slowly floating in the sky
