A Time Beyond LifeHorizons well off to the east.Facing your precious emerald Tir and Nog.Your earthly soul meeting your heavenly companion.Just beyond earth’s domain.Did the vale of light open up to long-lost family members?Did Saint Peter enjoy your joke along the Shannon River?Were you able to meet Thomas Edison?Does he know you played with his invention?What does electrified cities look like,from the Kingdom of the Clouds?I see you in the many hearts that drop to earth.I see you when reading poetry.I hear you beyond the grave,with audible words of encouragement.One-thousand four hundred and sixty days,of wondering about your beatific vision.(c) Mary Anne AbdoA poem in honor of my dad, Happy Father’s in heaven.(In the middle of editing my third book and this poem was next to edit. I had to share for all of the dads that are missed today and every day. Love you, Daddy).
