Nature's Memory

Merissa

I'm afraid to go outside because

I feel him everywhere. This was

his home. The trees sway in the

wind, and I feel as though he's

listening. To what, I don't know.

I think of him as the sun reflects

across the water, and I remember

the times when I felt at peace,

the times where he was actually

happy.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Couldn't think of a good title. This one is also about my father. He always loved nature and wanted to be apart of it. We actually spread his ashes over a hill in a natural park of some sort. I don't remember where but I do remember that we had to break into the place by crawling underneath the gate. Good memories. :-)

    Why do I read a contradiction within your words. Where you talk of fear and a time 'where' he was happy.

    • Merissa

      I don't like thinking about him but he, my father, was happy in nature and when we were out in nature it was the only time he showed true affection for me.
