Illy
Last year my sister left this earthly plain.
Her sudden departure caused me deep pain.
She went peacefully into the night.
But, it still causes such a fright.
Her 49 years on this Earth was not enough.
This last 17 months has been very tough.
Her living face I'll never see anymore.
Her ashes are next to me forevermore.
Her words are here on this artistic platform.
Sadly, that's not a regular every day "norm".
Her death was followed by more & more loss.
It feels like she is Death's final boss.
This year, my aunt, Daddy, plus my stepmom,
They have all too "decided" to just be gone.
My heart aches for their death & grief.
If only, the hurt would be ever so brief.
I'll never be over the loss of my sister illy.
She loved deeply, was caring & so silly.
She leaves a hole here, left in the wake.
Her departure most days is too much to take.
