On Father's day....

...this is for my friends, Katie, David and Oscar...



Apples



Your face seems to fade

in these colder days of rain

though when the sun shines

your dream smile holds sway

to rescue soft my day break



Fresh dew in my tears

I blink it away to seek

some haunted horizon

Your gaze 'fixing me

as mist clears the driftwood lake



Voice high and tender

with drums of mystical feet

far too tiny for you

Lawn wet toes and heels

A tug on my cheek, I awake



Our boy scouts for apples

squinting hazel brows in the sun

I join his stare
eyes hand in hand

to peer though fruitless trees

where limitless skies await





Jonny - June 09
