Poems for My Family: Lucas
I remember the sunbaked day you entered our world.
I remember the dark day you left our world.
A frozen moment in time to be held dear and cherished.
A frozen moment in time defining all who felt its reverberating fallout.
I hold tightly to those quiet and innocent moments of our childhood.
I hold tightly to those cavernous gaps in our communication.
A space in time I never want to stop relishing.
A space in time where the very blackness of space was torn at the seams.
I forgive you, because you were consumed by another version of yourself.
I forgive myself, because my own heartbreak stood tall on a darkening horizon.
A story that still had chapters so worthy of being written by your hands.
A story that is still worthy of being read as a clarion call toward better understanding.
I cannot fathom how much time has passed since you entered our little world.
I cannot fathom how much time has passed since you violently left our little world.
A promise to myself to hold firm to the overwhelming power of your guiding presence.
A promise to myself to hold firm to the promise of what has yet been realized in your name.
Be good to each other,
Nathan
