Father

Every step along the path
Is a step closer to you
I raise my head and glance at the sky
The time has almost come
In my hand, flowers for the lucky one
Next to you, I shall be alone
In a world of darkness I watch the seasons change
I arrive to my destination
And reflect on my life
In your image I stand,
Burdened by your mysterious past
I shall never know the truth,
Father.
Here I stand, looking down upon you
There you are, next to your father and brother,
Fighters who would never back down.
Piece by piece
Whispers on the wind
Your life digs into my heart
I shall bring the shovel, and you bring the map
And together we can find
The one thing that brought us down.
