For my sis

The world inside of me 
Is huge.  
There are trees with twisted, open branches, 
Like a thousand mom's, 
Reaching for a hug.  
There is music, and art, and 
A tsunami of words, 
Sent down stream, 
To be plucked and absorbed 
Like the most fulfilling 
Breath of air.  

The world inside of me 
Is huge.  
There is a tender heart, 
And a healing soul 
That wishes he could 
Raise the dead.  

There is also a secret place 
Where a million dreams come to rest.  
(A dream never fully dies...)  
These dreams spin around 
Our conscience 
Like the earth, 
Spinning on its axis, 
Rotating around the sun.  

We rotate and
Gravitate towards 
Each other too.  
Like the thousand prayers 
That are grafted from 
Person to person.  
All of them have a purpose.  
But somehow it means more 
When I can pray 
For my sis.
