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 To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

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~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

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 To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

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.
