Winds cling to me like a baby to its Mother,
stars shimmer as the moon shines in the firmament.
Death points its finger...enticing you to come,
I search the sky for you to give me a sign.
My love's as strong as the day you went away,
I ache to see your face and crooked smile.
I think I hear your voice in the distance,
run to see if I can see where it's coming from.
I wasn't prepared for you to not be here,
our time together wasn't long enough.
I loved you from the time you were a small lad,
not realizing I'd lose you in the prime of life.
There were songs we didn't get to sing,
camping trips we never got to take.
Things I wanted to say was left unsaid,
laughs left to echo like hyenas in the forest.
I miss you brother...you were special to me,
"no" one touched my heart like you did at times.
We were close from the day you were born,
I remember rocking and singing to you for hours.
I stand here alone as mist kisses my eyelids,
know it's you sending me a sign from above,
as your weeping tears blow in the wind,
awakening my soul you're here with me.
Brother, I wait for the day we'll reunite,
these fields of rubble are lonely and sad.
This rose's head hangs in loneliness,
petals are wilting as the color begins to fade.
"I miss you brother...you were special to me,
"no" one touched my heart like you did at times.
We were close from the day you were born,
I remember rocking and singing to you for hours."
Wow Barbara! What a powerful ode to your beloved Brother.......Chills rise as I read.......Thank you for sharing a slice of you my friend. You are loved.
Hauntingly beautiful! What a loving tribute to your brother. He's always a part of you as you are a part of him. Someday you'll be together again...Blessings ......M

Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
