Dream Mate - in memory of my brother

You came for
just a little while
but your soul
had to leave the body you chose
you left long before I was born
then returned
to share my dreams.
How beautiful you are
my lost brother
with your kindness
love and commitment
to be my protector
to share my pain
to ease my loneliness
you too are a motherless child
but you are strong
knowing your place in this vast universe.
And at night
you come to me
hold me and
dry my tears.
In your arms

I calm down
my fears evaporate
my soul warmed and soothed.
I feel your power
consoled, knowing that
you and I are one
forever.
