The Brother

Another Monday afternoon, looking through all my journals and writings as a kid I seem to revisit from time to time, when reflecting about my childhood and not feeling up to doing the work at the present moment. I came across a poem I wrote for one of my brothers… during his college graduation, back when I was 18 years old, perhaps around 2003-04… It is slightly cheesy, as are many of my writings, a little cliche here and there, but it has personal signifance largely because of his value in my life and among my other siblings. So for that reason, I share it here…

The Brother

Lying inept upon the flaming, dry concrete ground…

Lonesome with fear…

Rapid heart beating…

Weak adhered of no movement…

With one last breath, strength to lift one eye lid…

There appears …

with such emanation of radiance,

a hand reaching out, ready to grab the hand left hanging.

Built with strength, courage, and integrity…

This warrior, sharply posing, glowing with zeal and determination,

captures the hearts as he glides through spheres of struggle and fear, silently.

Destroying all velocities of anguish,

filling the vacuum compressed beneath the soul, this emptiness…

with hope and happiness, he intriguingly distributes his passion,

spreading his mercy with truth and sincerity.

It is truly a privilege to be among his presence,

for his presence is like a magnetic force, where one cannot prevent the self from clinging.

Step by step, aiming high, he assures that one is never alone in the fight.

He is a visual representation, an emblem of the purest of the purest attributes.

His true wisdom is glorified through action beneficial to all.

He plays an integral role in the movement,

influencing by sharing his compassion and adhering to his values.

The Brother serves, as a role model, an example, leading masses to the transcendence to purity….

The Brother serves, uplifting, elevating his status as he gains the trust through is guidance, comfort, and support…

The Brother serves, as the cloth or cover, acquiring warmth as he protects and shields his identity as well as the others…

The Brother serves, shedding his care among all, never giving up, never transgressing his limitations,

overcoming challenges and obstacles, smoothly, with the power of faith.

Blessed by the Divine, with elegance in stature, sharp in poise, top in wisdom, and humble in honor…

…How grateful can one be, to the All-Mighty, for giving us The Brother.
