Sibling
I had grown,
20 years and shy
One of three
Not knowing we
were without.
Youngest to be
and one of a lifetime
without knowing
that there is a piece gone.
When I realised
you were alone
I wept and cried
for how could kin be so?
To make things right
And learn your name
Was a greater joy
Than I ever could explain.
You had lived away
from any help I could give
And all the love,
a brother could need.
But the past is fog
Amongst the clearing
of our bonds.
I know now,
something I will
never forget:
You are my soul
my love and heart
and I will never leave
you again.

Wow... An enormously emotional and beautiful lesson learned in the end.... I really felt this piece. Being the youngest of three sisters, one of which is estranged, this impacted me greatly
.... Really poignant and masterfully crafted.
I'm glad you found your way back to each other... I was almost teary, reading.
Thank you for sharing with us 🙏

Sorry for the delay in replying, I'm glad this ink spoke to you in such a way. The strangeness of life, that I am no closer to the sibling I didn't know for 20 years than the 2 I grew up with.
Family is a strange creature indeed.
