~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the daylight carried the news of his sister’s passing on wings of dusk's dreary surprise his big sis who carried him through the family mud and lifted him above the garden’s golden meadows launching secreted shared memories that lovely young woman smiling that smile keeping him busy beside the pool during summer barbeques and cross-country vacations exchanging stories both scary and enchanting sharing dreams and nightmares encountered during their nightly divide it was difficult to breathe without feeling guilty the rain pounded so hard on the roof it sounded like heaven punching its fists into his temples the fireplace roared like a lost lioness its embers cracking her voice for the final time a bellow of fading warmth he cried to sleep with once more

Hey Jude,
Such a tender account of the passing of such a warm and special person in one's life. Very poignant indeed.
One can feel the loss of such a special relationship and empathize with the person left behind to mourn.
You always bring us such amazingly written poetry!
Much peace, light and angel love,
Amber

So often it is presumed the author is always writing of him/herself. Some poems are created from empathy for other. If this is that, then it is with cosmic connection to bretheren for you to feel the pinpoint of this pain. Deep-reaching piece of writing. ~~ Diana

Indeed it is so. Your empathy is spot on and I love how you accentuate our sensitivity to the wider world and its import at such a time in lines 19-25. This sense of distress and loss could also be appropriated to any fading male/female kindred relationship - as implied by the ambiguity (intended or otherwise) of your final line. Reminds me of Pink Floyd's lyrics in High Hopes - a song I want played at my funeral, as it happens: the days when 'the grass was greener, the light was brighter, with friends surrounded, the nights of wonder... the taste was sweeter', etc. Thanks for this, Bro. xx

A bittersweet rite of passage and a kindred reminiscence and appreciation that life here on this plane is temporary, a very thoughtful tribute to a sister who functioned in the capacity of an emotional provider perhaps as well as a spiritual guide and financial supporter. This is deep felt, heartwarming, and heartbreaking.
