Sisters of the Heart You sistered my sun Though I had one While my sister I’ve loved so long Her thoughts and mine Do not belong You sistered me By want of choice In hold of hands You gave me voice There is no blood Though bonds of tie Unspoken knowing In see of eye A sister of selection In mirrored reflection You’ve held my heart Taken a stand And then in quiet Took my hand Do you, in quiet Solitude Hear my applause In plentitude? For I would Forevermore be A friend of you Through Sisterly Connected reflections Causing introspection Here’s the porch Our rockers await Sister’s face At picket gate Stories to share In caring tell A pick-me-up For when we fell Now a shawl I give to thee In spread of warming Sisterly A sister, mirrored, None held, dearer. Inspired by Laurence Binyon's "Magnets", circa 1923 and in appreciation for the lovely Poetesses of Passions all...who write with their heart in just the right place... ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 24 February 2002 "There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent."Julia Cameron |

and karilea, you are the empress of sisters...believe it...you who has given so much of herself to many, you stand steadfast in friendship and in love...and in that alone, comes your richness of voice, the plentitude of marvelous words of support you give so easily...you are also, the sister in this poem of yours...a beauty |

You speak to all who find friendship, love, and release of fears and tears. You speak to those who share their feelings within these pages and beyond. ~~~ And to those "brothers" who show the same emphaty. Beautiful .... martyjo |

You taught me a concept, without knowing it....such a gift it is, to choose in that way....and this one you speak of, more than gift. I have a chosen brother now, as strong a man as there is in this world, but when I said those two words to him on the phone one day, I thought he would burst into tears. I'm sure he did leak a bit -- I could hear it in his voice. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

The gathering of sisterly spirits is always an inspiring thing for a man to observe. Well done. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
