Sister

Dedicated to a friend

We all saw you in our dreams last night, the effect was calming

Taking the love and the light and giving it a three dimensional quality

You said to walk the path lightly, but with confidence, I didn’t hesitate

You touched the back of my head and saw the hope and created flow

 

Sister, where are your weary hands when the work is done

Granting so much to so many and asking nothing in return

Sister, where are your thoughts after soothing my fears

Showing the way when so many plant brambles at our feet

 

We all saw you in the reflection of the water in the morn, the effect was wondrous

Taking the tears and creating rivulets of love and light, satin

You said to give my heart to the depths and live vertically but with reach

You stared into my eyes and pulled out the deepest browns and translucent blues

 

Sister, you are the one who binds the now to the forever

Seeing the things that are but ghosts in the recesses of a diseased outlook

Sister, you are the one that ebbs and swirls, making words into wishes

Walking unseen through the hearts and minds of the ones who want to love

Author's Note

Good Luck!!!

Wow Crowley. Speechless here. ‘Last night, I returned to Manderlay’ , yes, as we return again in our mortal dreams, to the brightness of those who have passed, have blessed us, have loved us, have lighted our way. Your star-shower of ethereal words and lines, shape a lovingly jeweled silhouette of “Sister” , who is seen and loved by “all” at the same time. Magical image. Magical poem.

Glad I stopped by. I have people like that. A nicely written story really that made me feel compassion. Thanks for sharing

The great thing about loving someone's this well is your inner image of her is so grouned, she will always travel with you and I hope her voice never leaves your memory.
This is splendid the images so clear and lovely.

I have a sisterr like that, are we related? :)
She is the only person I know that can insult, compliment and infuriate in one word, then ask to borrow money and make it sound like she's doing you a favour. As long as you can handle the truth, you're okay, but she talks like a machine gun and smiles like a pit bull.
Funny thing is, its always her opinion I seek. I must be a glutton for punishment :)

dear Crowley, these words are more than superior, beyond beautiful, and I believe only for whom they are meant for, they will fully understand the depths of this magnificence, for me this was a Goddess You were describing, and You with Your keen insight could reach to her deeper and deeper inner, the photo OH PERFECT! I applaud You my brilliant friend!

Powerful and wonderful words shared.
