Last Conversation

Prelude:

A child loses her father and talks of the heartache she experiences.

On the other hand, her father’s spirit who Is still on earth meets her one last time to confront her so that he can move on to the next world. This poem is a conversation between the spirit and the child.

.. ..

Child:
Every now and then I feel,
The void you left behind,
That empty space that can’t be sealed,
The pain I cannot hide.

.. ..
Tired of crying out of frustration,
For the past I cannot change,
Slowly dries my minds elation,
Leaving me painfully drained.
.. ..

My life so vibrant and full of heart,
Lost and burnt to dust,
But like the wind it swirls and spins,
Searching for a divine new start.
.. ..

Spirit:
Stuck in a world with a purpose to fill,
Thou mortals are all that stray,
But there is one young girl
Who had a heart of pearl,
But now stand torn and still.
.. ..

The apple of my eye, the core of my soul,
The one who awakened my heart,
To see her once more,
And comfort her again
Is the blessing I must fulfill.
.. ..

Spirit and child meet (she starts to cry):
Oh father you cam,
I knew that you would,
My pain seems to drift away,
Don’t leave me again,
For I cannot keep at bay,
The pain that burns me in vain.
.. ..

Dear child,
My tears speak a thousand words
Of that that which cannot be said,
For this will be the last that we meet,
And the last that I will ever tread.
.. ..

I must go,
To the land foretold
And spread my angelic wings
And forever look down
At the girl I adore
And protect her like my king.
.. ..

Father hugs her:
Father, say you will never forget me
And that you’ll never leave my side
For though you are in spirit
Your heart is ever sublime.
.. ..

My heart and soul, my flesh and blood
I must leave for heavens gate,
Remember me, as if I were a dream
That will never fade away.
.. ..

Before leaving both recite this together:
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,
Your memory will remain,
We will meet one day
And forever will stay
Father and daughter, burning like an eternal flame.
