Notes About The Poem

Due to technical difficulties I am unable to provide an explanation of this poem at this time.

My Brother

Livers
	bleed

lungs	
	gasp for breath


vessels of poetry
	read

pain disappears
	tears recede

love floats above the sea
	tides of sadness

recede
	planted in marshlands

seeds
	friendship bloomed

living for words
	no longer matters

I embrace my brother
	love his might

standing on cliffs ledge
	gazing this new morn

softly I whisper
	we are one

Congratulations on your superb poem of the day, Arthur. Your words brought sadness as I dread the thought of losing my only brother. It's a special bond that includes friendship and more. Your poem took me to the edge of a cliff over the sea, feeling a deep loss. Absolutely beautiful! Hugs, Carolyn
