Journeyman
travel not far from my side
alone you will never be,
a dream connects
heart will talk,
deep valleys will not contain
mists draw across
by fingertip i will find,
life a container
a shell that holds
essence and essential you,
written on memory
indelible unsmudged
now slipped
will not escape my grasp
i feel you
as on new travels
across tides
that will wash my cheeks,
will see you
as a new shadow at my side
never forgotten
for my father Ivan Hare son of Wilfred Hare and Nellie Cubbin a fantastic father and friend loved and missed
I’m sorry you lost this wonderful man, but keep him close.

Chris, I hate that you have lost your parent, friend, mentor, and soul’s companion. No words can fill that void or fill it up – but you must continue to try as they are letters to his soul, and a respite for your own. Sending my condolences and prayers for peace.
