Element

Dad, so long gone,
suddenly here in khaki
like a dream,
lying on your belly
on a makeshift bed
in a windblown tent
in pouring rain
somewhere near Naples
typing in the half-dark,
in your element!

How lovely. That rhyme is good - makes me smile. Not sure you even need the exclamation mark.

I love this too.

Reads well with or without the exclamation mark,though it does make a difference...
