Still my Sister
A dear friend lost his sister to meningitis. She had a long drawn out horrific ending and yet he explained how graceful she remained, always with a smile. She comforted rather than wanting comforting. It touched me so much i penned this poem. i did not kn
Violent arbiter,
That which cannot be named
Maybe triumph then bewilderment
When the beast cant be tamed
A sufferance of splendour
That has no place in this life
A helpless heart render
At every turn of the knife
A cruel encounter
One from which we protect
A victim of malevolence
The form evil elect
And yet grace arises
A poised beauty and charm
An impenetrable stillness
Sheltered from harm
A magnificence that transcends
All of our sorrows
A smile I’ll remember
For all the tomorrows
Warmth to her fellows
An angel I knew
A patron of solace
The strength of a few
And still she comforts
On my every request
She is my peace
My serenity
My goodness
My best
Form may have gone
God knows ive missed her
But still in my heart
Still as my sister
