I stood watching you while you rested The sense that your closed eyes Might blink open In the brilliance of your light I stood watching you while you slept The beauty of your heart Beat an invisible rhythm Reciting the nourishment of your care I stood watching you in your repose The scent of your skin Wrapped around your body A warm haven of embrace lays in wait We walked the long road Into the furnace of rites I bow down in your grace As your flame licked away my tears These ashes of memories Scattered into the ocean Into the eternal Ebb and flow May the light of the sun Dance and celebrate In the colours Of all your love May the moon watch over you A mirror of your soul Reflecting the tender beauty Of all your strife May the sea birds sing you songs Of your children Offering your protection In your journey safely home In loving memory of my father, Chua Kian Peng❤ |
