more than sisters


streaks of bleak on a velvet sky
hiding more than behind the eye
cold and cutting her words of dread
she calls herself "the living dead"
unsheltered from the storm that looms
a view distorted, no unassumes
just dress up moments of yesterday
when time was framed and her voice could say

no shoulders, we, on others placed
we're more than sisters, though distance spaced
in years, we share such losses, real
of love, of family, of each in feel
we're more than sisters until the end
we are each other's blended friend.


"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

Beautifully written Maureen..
I know some of what you are feeling...
Be strong for her...I'll keep her, and you, in my prayers.
~Hugs, Nancy~

Blended. I never thought of it that way, but yes, blended is exactly the right word.

I understand, "more than sisters"--and this is more than just a poem.

Sending lots of love and Light to both you and your sister.

Maureen, this poem really touched me. It's so good to
hear of family members getting along and meaning so much
to each other. My Mom and I are more than Mother and daughter...
we are also friends.
My prayers and thoughts are still with your sister, Maureen.
Give her a hug for me....and one for you, too.

when there is very little time left
and the only hope is of one more day
you put aside any family grievances,
sibling rivalries, and you try to make the most
of what is left...you can never go back
you can only make better, if anything,
and although you want time to pass slowly
you also wish for it to come quickly enough to stop the pain.


Thank you, Nancy, Bernie, James F
Linda and Ethel

Your words are greatly appreciated

Maureen
