Poetry: Ode To A Brother

Posted on 2018/10/02 by Maison Moonchild

Ode To A Brother

You lived loudly and boisterously

You loved unconditionally and fiercely

A loyal friend

A true brother

We are one of the same

Partner to all stages of my life

My heartaches divided

My triumphs multiplied

I will remember

Your inquisitive mind hungry for knowledge

Ready to inhale every breath of excitement

Your insatiable desire for laughter and thrills

Your life’s adventures

Chaotic and confounding

Are In league with legends and myths

I’ll cherish these memories

Keeping your spirit alive with every smile and burst of laughter

While you take your place in heaven

Amongst the angels clad in black leather jackets

The saints rejoicing over the repentant sinner

I rejoice in the marvel

that was you and your life

I will miss you beyond measure

this poem Ode to a Brother was as perfect as anything can /could or would be ..so fitting for the two people it was intended to reflect on ..2 lives ..one quickly fading out in a mere 6 weeks ..the other left to carry along alone with a full lifetime of memory to re-live alone ..thank you Miss Lisa Lunney this piece will be read many times ..

  I loved every word.Thank You from the bottom of my heart,it really means so very much to
  me and always will.Ode to a Brother captured my man,and his best friend who is hurting as I am.Our memories will carry us through this sad time,John will never be forgotten I’ll
  miss him every moment til were together again.I’ll be wearing my leather coat as well.
