The Secret Language of Sisters



My Sister
And I
Walk
Hand in hand
In a world
That only we
Can see
Thoughts uttered
Without speaking
Comfort given
Without asking
Arcane gestures
That only we
Can grasp
Confidences shared
Under twilight
Pools of joy
And sorrow
In which only
We can bathe.
Together we
Mellow
Tethered in
Affection
A bond of
Love, which
Keeps the
Darkness at bay.


for my Sister Michelle

Your sister must be so proud of you asI know you are of her. These words are a true gift of the soul and I know if I were her I would treasure them always.
