Father

Soft and white
Sprawled out across the soft winter sky
Your arms encompassing all of creation
In fatherly embrace

Your warm hands cupping
Old carton-coloured moon
And your many thousand eyes
Sparkling
With joy, with love

A girl with withered soul
Looks heaven-ward
And finds solace and reason
To nourish and protect this
Her only possession.
