brother

We listened to the sounds of daybreak
We watched the dawn push back the night
Then life was sweet as chocolate cake
The path ahead was sure and bright

Though we were small and needed care
We built ourselves on bold endeavour
Win or lose a joy to share
Rivals, play mates bond forever

Im drowning in a wake of darkness 
Your existence gave me light
Abrupt and absolute in starkness
You're gone forever from my sight

An inherent spark of my existence
Now starved of life and choked
Has followed you across the distance
My  right of wholeness now revoked

With all the sounds of daybreak
That once enthused delight
Pain restates the heartache
From which no flight nor fight

Did you ever know I loved you?
I would have born your pain
Even when our lives were new
Strength in unity was our gain

Goodbye my brother,  you must leave
My journey now a path to grieve
A kiss blown on the wind I send
With thoughts of you until life's end

Trag
