2022 prompt 6 / hour 6 “sonder adjacent”
Are you here? Are you there?
Are you above ground? Or below?
You helped me, taught me, encouraged me and caught me
You drilled me in skills to instil and fulfil
What I learned I passed on
When I could. Where I could.
You may not pass this way again
You may have passed away already
But I say here, clear
You changed me *your teachings* changed me
Teaching me allowed me to help others
Wherever you are, or were
Whatever you believe, or believed
You go tell your higher power you did good, k?

I like the way the narrator of this poem seems to be speaking to someone that’s abstract.
The ending is a bonus to the uniqueness, “k?” Haha, I really love that part the most.
