Sister

entry picture

Your laugh

your smile

your voice

 

We are the same, you and I

 

You hurt

I hurt

your pain

my pain

 

We share the same roots

roots spread; pierce the soil

breakthrough the tassels

to

seek the sun

 

Emerging: Taking on new routes, our journeys

 joined at the earths crust

 

 

Attached by name, blood, traits, emotionally vexed

 

Yet,

a fire, a spirit burns, a warrier in you, in me, creeps slowly

tiny

footsteps of a geisha

 

You sing

I sing

you write

I write...

Hello Belinda~Beautiful poem!!
Well written with the visual reflection of those two identical trees added a lot of imagination to your write. Very enjoyable piece to read. Great use of words! The poem fascinates because you gave life to those involved.

Enjoyed reading!
