I gazed into the mists of time
Searching for what I’d lost
knowing in my heart it seems
That once I’d counted cost

I longed to see you once again
To touch you in this time
To take your hand and tell you
That for you I gave my life

That I had always loved you
And that I always will
That you’ll always be my brother
and to take away your guilt

It haunted me through time you know
That look within your eyes
But it was too late to tell you then
It was my time to die

So I returned to find you
To live that time once more
To give my message to you
To finish from before

But now my love I leave you
For this life is my own
You cannot walk beside me now
For I must walk alone

But brother don’t forget me
Our time may come around
Remember brother we don’t sleep
For long below the ground.

Beautiful!

Your poetry has so much depth in the messages that you convey.

You don't look anything close to your proclaimed 98 years, but your writing seems so beyond your youthful beauty.

Unless you're the reincarnation of someone who lived to be 70 or 80 yrs old.

Either way, you rock!

Very nice work! Bravissimo!

Thank you both for your kind words... I'm lost for mine now lol!

Themis...that gave me goose bumps.
