Patrick Thomas Jeffries


In Loving Memory of Barry Schwam


A Father of Voice


There are relationships


That are the great blessings of existence

That radiate with brilliance and excellence

Nuanced dances of shared and mutual reliance


Ones that represent our existential community

And signal a metaphysical unity

Where we find our identity


Through a natural and divine form of acceptance and belief

When you’ve found someone that not only celebrates who you are but challenges you to dig deep

And discover the true self buried and stretching to reveal itself in a wild and mystical form to achieve


Recognition


When there is no shame and just compassion

When you are allowed to be brave and courageous, silly or outrageous

When you are beheld by gentle eyes of wisdom and appreciation


Where you are free to be anything infinitely

Discovering that self eternally

That is family, a sacred place to explore emotionally


A bond made by an intuitive choice

Like the sun shines, and rains light, rejoice

In the appreciation, trust and guidance of a Father of Voice


Hungry for fame and notoriety

He allowed me to become who I wanted to be

And to be great to him was often enough for me


We fall to rise high

Crawl and climb the sky

We all want all want to give each other something before it is time to say goodbye


Once I am forsaken

Trapped in the echo chamber

And I hear him call my name in the infinite vacuum and void


I will rejoice, for he is always with me,


A Father of Voice
