Aging and the Thoughts of a Boy

Exhausted within the blinding,
Detachment, overflowing grace,
Brilliant light, fading fears,
Tears lacking emotion,
Void of immensity,
Red, blue, and black,
From the whiteness emerge,
Shapes, sounds, continuity,
Interiorly, everything has changed,
Disharmony, synchronicity,
A rebirth lasting decades,
Subtle pain, slow growth,
Impression, nothing has changed,
A wise one wanders,
Speaking unheard,

You are maturing,
I noticed within your breathing,
Your distant stare,
Lacking definition,
Your turning of the face,
A humble caring smile,

Reticent reciprocation, contrite,
The neverending reality of eternity,
Adjusting focus, bringing into view,

A failure, Father asking:
Did you use all your strength?
Little in response: Yes,
I tried.
You are wrong.
You did not use all your strength,
I am here,
You never asked me to help.
