Literature Text

Last night,
you wandered
Unbidden into my mind

The years that have gone by
Are sure evidence
That the time really does fly

I only ever thought fleetingly of you

Then I remembered,
your red car
An eight year old me,
your hand laid gently upon my knee
I remember the safety you brought
And how I loved you more than he

It is happening again
But this time
There is no stopping it
No halt to the emotion coursing through me

Perhaps...
I should just let it be

So I wrote this whilst I was in London and it was prompted by seeing a place I had been as a child.  Something as simple as being in a parked red car when I was eight came hurtling back to me, and I had to write it down :)  

The title means 'Spirit Father' in Swahili.  I love the Swahili language and wish to learn it one day :)  I got the translation from Google, so I hope it translated accurately!
