Heaven

Last night I dreamed I was in heaven
You were there
Head thrown back,
Laughing
I tried to capture that moment
It drifted away
Ephemeral as the breeze

Today as I walked in the park
I pretended I was in Germany
Where I had visited
Some time ago

I stared up at the periwinkle sky
The trees
So high above
Whispered to one another
In a language only they could understand

For my father
