Random Leaf #1093 precisely cut

Over and over—on repeat,
I play it and cry—
crying more than before.

I am in awe of such beauty.

The magnificent beats, hums, and rhythms,
word for word,
in my mind I see the voice dance,
chords and lyrics hand in hand,
calling out to me.

All I can do is let my tears fall
—like a dam overflowing.

And the best part?
These are happy tears.

It took me years to realize
a song I used to play on repeat
was about my father.

I smile, taken aback—
all I can think:

“I cannot top this.”
