Yesterday

Yesterday I heard your voice

I heard you call my name 

Although you called my name only once it did not matter 

Your voice was so familiar, so much so it made by heart stop a beat

The sound of your voice, echoed a familiar tone which struck my heart into a surreal state of calmness 

At the sound of your voice,  my body froze from all movement, whilst my feet gravitated towards the pavement 

Sea breeze swept calmly across my face motioning me to turn towards your echoing voice only to stare into nothingness 

Your voice raised the hairs on the back of my neck- made me alert to the unimaginable world 

Stopped frozen and still to only see the sea waters float back and forth like a surrealist painter's  brush  stokes motioned into stillness 

Stillness and calmness

I  realised I would not hear your voice again 

This was the time - whether it be a second , minute to appreciate  an opportune moment. An opportune moment that I had heard you, your voice and you called my name out loud  

Wishful thinking and thoughts of wishing you were not only my imagination and that you were here forevermore. Never departed this earth 

Love you forever more dad
