one day

Dream Maker - Heart Breaker

It wasn't until years later

when I started to write

  about

that Father's Day

when she died

that I saw 

 As my father and I 

scouted 

the funebrial sky

for the moon and stars

we hoped

for a final grasp

of our past

that we could 

no longer behold.

But now I know 

that when you look at

any object

what you're really seeing

is its traveling reflection 

of light.

Tonight

you're not seeing

the moon as it is now

 but as it was

its distance of 

time ago.

And like moms

But

  we can still see  

the luminosity of a star

long extinguished

traveling from its

original seat in 

light years distance

reaching back to 

after its last flicker of

 life.

 

Two weeks later

my dad's existence

began its voyage

in light years

and now every time 

I look at a star 

I see its pulsating waves

flash:

Get Lost

then find yourself in

But before you leave 

the comfort of your 

Paris hotel room

you will need to turn on this

look out

listen

to the love of

For those of us who find her 

simply irresistible

she is forever

embraced in a 

tint 

of elegance

 whimsy

audacious fashion

and

unparalleled beauty

that dances on

and on

and on.

Now close your eyes

come on now, humor me

put on your 

rose colored glasses
