One Year

 

since my little sister passed through

to the next dimension

 

Lynn,

my heart still aches

and my ears still yearn

to hear the sound of your voice

 

I miss embracing you

honouring you

in this embodied journey

 

when I wear something you envisioned

and brought into form

when I look at a picture you drew

hanging framed on my wall

 

the beauty of all your creations

 

A sister intimacy

no one else can ever know

the impact of our ‘roles’

within the broken familial structure

 

we each survived

 

no one  can ever

understand our perceptions

who we were and who we have become

 

I long to share more of

the “what’s new” in our lives

while appreciating our individual evolving wisdoms

 

your unique presence

a gift in my life

 

love you always sis
