You Showed Me A Sunset…

To my Father, Dr. Jakub Herzig

You showed me a sunset
Many years ago
The shades and colours
Of a moving sky
Which passes time
From the Creator to man.

My mind, my feelings
And my eyes
Retained the beauty
Of a moment
Before a gate
Of wonders.

The ecstasy of my being
Exposed
And guided
By you
Perceived your lesson
Of tender love
And
God.
