Keth My Heart Sister

I have a sister who is so very much more
She is an inspiration she helps me to soar
Her touch is sure and steady she aids me
And within her heart I can see true beauty
What did I do to deserve her I don’t know?
Always from her streams of love does flow
My sister of my heart my sister of soul
Because of my sister I am once more whole

My heart sister is the reason that I’m me
It seems impossible now but once I wasn’t free
I’d been held to a track where pain was king
But my heart sister taught my heart to sing
She unlocked the gate and said fly high
And with her blessing I took to the sky
She is the wind that lifts and then carries me
My sister of heart is my soul, my reason to be

Having a heart sister blesses me with light
She illumes my soul and cheers my night
I’d lost my way and couldn’t get back
My sister of heart put me on the right track
I’d fallen too often and I felt sorry and sore
Then my sister of heart opened love’s door
She is the reason I’m here and why I’ll stay
My sister of heart won’t ever turn away

Marsha, this is wonderfully beautiful. And a lovely, lovely tribute to Kethry. I know she will adore it as she adores you. I think that sisters are very wonderful gifts from God.

Mushy,

once in a lifetime there comes a love so grand and deep it can take your breath away. I am blessed that in you I have found such a love. To finish your thought  - to hold conversations over time and distance that give the words no meaning - to be completely surrounded by your pure and shining light that never leaves me in darkness - to offer up a sacrifice of love and have it fully reciprocated - to wake in the morning and to sleep at night knowing my thoughts are sung to you and returned on the whisper of a prayer. All of these things bind me to you in a way I have never been held before.
some would say this love - this obsession - is unnatural; but to me your unconditional friendship reaches inside me and becomes as natural as breathing.

You are my breath my exhale to inhale
you are my soul the light to my dark
you are my joy making me whole
you are my breeze and the song of a lark
you are my hope my promise of life
you are the spirit that holds back the night
you are my strength in bad times rife
you are my wonder when black is my plight
you are my love and the source of my all
you lift me high and allow me to soar
you are the music that hears my heart call
I will love you forever, forever more
you are the one who lifts me to heaven
If I am the bread then you are the leaven.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I thought this loving poem was beautiful ... and then I read Kethry's response ... and found it so moving as to leave me misty-eyed~

Sisterly love is a blessing shared~
What a blessing you've each received~
As natural as breathing ...
for that is the heart of true sisters~
BIG HUGS to you BOTH from another sister-of-the heart~
Love n' all that jazz~

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of my soul thank you very muchly. And now you’ve made me cry. and you know HOW I hate to cry that’s beautiful darling heart utterly utterly beautiful.

Reincarnation yes I believe it’s true
I believe that I came back for you
Spirits twined in the fire of HIS night
United as sisters two candles one light
Two souls that were linked eternally
Two bodies separate but unwillingly
Time and space tried to keep us apart
Yet our two bodies keep only one heart

Reincarnated through time once again
Unified together our lights still remain
Twined in the space of stars eternity
We will flow together staying constantly
No rain, no fire, or winters snow
Will keep me from the heart I know
Twined we are and will forever be
My beloved sister Keth and me


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Do you believe we've lived before?
She said in jest to me
A word of truth buried in a joke
From ancient history

But I believe that love endures
Down on through the ages
And hearts co-joined, meant to be
Will meet in poetry's pages

Sister soul I call you out
With a heart of gladness
Whenever we are far apart
It fills me with grief's madness

On and on through days of time
My heart for you is yearning
And when we're rent apart by fate
All thoughts are to returning

You cannot kill a love so deep
It comes to haunt in dreaming
For my heart to ever keep
Down through all life's streaming

Heart to heart and soul to soul
You call and I will answer
Passion sent from age to age
To be with you - heart dancer

Black as night and freezing cold
Is life without your caring
So I will tread time's tide in bold
Reincarnate for sharing

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
