Eyes of Time

she looked at him through the eyes of a child

calm and confident he was

strong and serene

he was her world

all she knew

all she remembered

until one day, her world fell away

she looked again through eyes of twenty four

time inhaled as memories neared

unmistakable treasures of

retrospect

like fire they pranced

prompting her to never forget

a father's love...

~~ beautiful poetry... moving and sensitive beyond measure... ~~ and i think we perceive more and more deeply with the passage of time... simply because we have new experiences during that time...

Oh ALisa,
A sad story to tell, yet there is much tenderness within it. I love the imagery you've created throughout this write. There are things we understand only when we are older and sometimes wiser :D

Wow, this almost made me cry and smile at the same time, even though i don't quite know what it all means, i loved every word and letter.

Aloha,

Thank you for your comments and time. Poetry is really up to the reader's interpretation and what resonates with them...

It was inspired of the true story of losing my father when I was young and remembering him as an adult....

I will be by soon,

Aloha from Belfast Alisa
This poem recalled to me the line from a favourite film of mines *whispers* 'Grease'
Frenchy says to Sandy after the breakup with Danny (I know Im sad, sorry Alisa, lol)
"The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy."

I don't mean to trivialise your writing here by referring to that film because it does mean lot to me
The title is haunting and the tale equally so but also lovely.

Aloha ANTO,

From out here, somewhere in the middle of the Pacific...
