to my dear sister

I miss you like a bird and its safe place. 

I walk alone in a snow globe sometimes. 

I cry at the most ridiculous things- because they remind me of our childhood. 

I want to sit on the roof and watch the glitter trail of fireworks while

Tasting the sweetness of ice cream on my tongue. 

Really. 

I want to be in the middle of a million fragrant pine trees drenched

In ice in Virginia with you. 

Sitting on a hill. 

Stargazing. 

I miss our porch swing and listening to the chorus of crickets on a summer night. 

Sipping our lemonade or sweet tea. 

I'm sorry for every cross word, selfish intention and angry silence. 

You're such an evidence of grace in my life. 

A truly beautiful person. 

Made in God's image. 

Loved.

Your words are so beautifully heartbreaking. This is a gorgeous poem with such lovely imagery and sadness that I had to read it a few times to really grasp it. This is a lovely write, great job.
