FLY
A man of the land returned to the sea, to blow
in the wind through the cedar trees. To fly
with the raven or swim up the stream, my
father’s not gone, just not to be seen, but to
live in the land and all of our dreams. He
comes to me in the darkest of night, reminds
me he’s there and just out of sight. I hear his
voice in the quiet soft breeze. In the sounds of
the summer he whispers to me.
