A Poem Visualization





Y... Close to my children

By Aufie Zophy

I was dreaming
I was a magnificent tree
With my children as saplings
standing around me
sharing my roots

I was dreaming
I was a beautiful rose
With my children as buds
standing near me
on the same stalk

I was dreaming
I was a reddish apple
with my children as blossoms
standing near me
on the same branch

I woke up
and my children were near me
So many thanks, my God.

DAD



Dad…
If you were here, I would tell you that I miss those moments
The moments when you were sitting down in front of our home while waiting for my coming
Welcoming me with your sweetest smile
Entertaining me with classic songs and your special spinning dance


Dad…
If you were here, I would tell you that you miss some moments
The moments when I was standing in front of our home while looking at your empty chair
Dropping litters of tears
Singing those classic songs while imagining your smile

Dad…
If you were here, I would tell you my struggle
Hitting the books to get useful knowledge
And knuckling down to survive

Dad…
If you were here, I would tell you a love story
A story of admiring a man with a sweet smile as yours
A man with a warm meekness as yours

Dad…
You are not here, but your face remains clear on my eyes
Dad…
You are not here, but your name always there in my prayers
Dad…
You are not here, but I still love you, and will always love you more than forever…
