A very old poem of mine
RETROSPECT
Father of my child,
Father of my fears,
you sent me hurtling head over painful heels
into spacious freedom space
without a compass.
Father of my freedom,
my inevitable oneness,
FINALLY I found the north star
guiding me home at last
to me.
Sibling of my rivalry,
Brother of my youth,
your fertile seed sown recklessly
has finally taken root
among the planted promises
and grows - a vestige of the past.
