Dear Father

father with hesitant steps
steps towards your door
dour,my head low
low on my knees
knees towards the throne
thrown down,curled like a foetus
foetus that i am
am in need of space with you
you who guides me through life's minefield
field my questions patiently
patiently as father to son
sun lights up my life
life and time stands still
still the turbulence in my heart
heart in tune with heaven
heaven, in your warm embrace
embrace me forever
forever in your warm embrace
