Father’s Spirit

Hush now,
And you will know me,
For I live there,
Deep within you,
A quiet whisper,
Amongst all the whispers
Of your ancestors.

I am of you,
But not you,
I am like a ghost
That waits on the threshold,
Waiting,
Finally to be released
From this mortal coil.

Fear not,
You will not lose me,
For you will have found me,
So that now I may be at your side,
Not within you;
Your friend,
Not your ghost.

You are here now,
And I welcome you,
Do nothing,
For all shall be done,
Follow the flow of the tide,
It will take you,
Where you need to go.
