FATHER AND DAUGHTER

We sat together on the curb
of the suburban neighborhood
where you grew up
My daughter who i had not seen in years
(little did i expect it but i had become an absentee father)
she unhesitatingly crawled up in my lap
there she fitted, loosely, comfortably
and we watched the cars pass by
as near to heaven as I've ever been
in moments like these
archetypal thoughts are focused
for future reference

In that moment
all was right with the world
None would I have changed
Not even taken an errant breath
for fear of interrupting
an out of time Dreamland
