you are a sister
who whispers through the leaves,
who dances in the fire,
and keeps my life at ease.
you're the sister
who paints my dreams
with happy pictures of us
while i sleep.
you'll always be the sister
who smiles when i sing
and holds my hand while i
sit in panic that stings.
you are my sister
who has eternal rest,
but is living within me
every single day.
and
i'd give anything to
just once
see your face.
