Hello everyone! Once again, here, taking advantage of this extraordinary opportunity offered by @prydefoltz to relive dead poems. I thank @tribeglobal-love and @rensoul17 for the support to our society, hoping that this impulse will help us to grow and multiply the number of participants. Today I bring you one that I did in honor of my father, hoping that you like it.

Beloved father of one hundred battles,
you went silent sitting on sighs,
leaving a wake that marks the way,
of stars route and lights flares

Always a beautiful and powerful poetic share, Marlyn:)

Another amazing poem full of poignancy and illuminating imagery. These words, are especially moving:

My Father, center of my heart,
You planted very deep within me, love,
You did not deliver me from all my fears,
You gave me the courage to face them myself.
You did not turn off my inner flame,
You blew and blew so she's alive.
You did not take away from me the pain of losing yourself
You gave me the courage to win.
You did not imprison my being in your death,
You opened the cage to see me fly

Tenderness. Beautiful words to describe a strong and inspiring father-daughter relationship beyond the physical world, @zeleiracordero. The Spanish version is quite musical; loved it.
