A face in the clouds!!!

The day has come

I’ve waited a lifetime

Trepidation in my vicinity

More questions than answers!!!

 

How different will it be???

Will I be welcome???

Will he recognise me???

Has he aged beyond belief???

 

Is all the family together???

Has he stayed abreast of my life???

Will I have to chronicle my journey???
 

Has he changed with time???

 

Am ready to depart

A stunning white carriage too

A lonely ride I'm sure

And no one to say goodbye

 

The road is pristine and promising

Lined with trees and an aura of yore

Cloud capped mountains at a distance

There’s still a long way to go

 
 

A princess like feel

Decorous for a change

Expectations galore

And apprehension aplenty

 

The unpretentious white picket fences

Unlike the towering ornate ones I’d imagined

Secured by none and silence unnerving

They know am arriving

 

 

Am on my own

Have been enrolled by mere presence

Devoid of the hustle and bustle

This is heaven, I better get used to

 

Am free to mosey around

But where do I go???

Am at a crossroads

With no signboards

Then the sight of a familiar figure

Just like I know him

A big smile and twinkling eyes

A warm embrace that says it all

 This is my home now

Where my Dad’s been for long

No questions, no answers

Just happy and whole again!!!

 

To my dear dear Dad!!!
