Brother

To my brother, where horizons shine beneath you

The young eyes, of passive passion resides

I write to you, my brother; benign

For you to seek the world inside.

Ambiguous is life which you strive within

Its nature, cruel to those that walk it

And we exist between to serve

Whatever may come, we shall deserve.

To that, my brother, I seek mutiny

To conform to life is but conservity

Liberate yourself from the sordid close

And find contentment in the small abode.

To live in skies like drifting breeze

To feel the brook's moving streams

To love, to hate

To cry, to shape

Dear brother, take all within

And let it dissolve within

To feel, to live your life with bliss.

My brother, morale is slim in the many

No human is truly blank

The good, the bad; they break

Break into messes which builds the mass

And that is never simple.

I wish for you to love,

To love the breaking masses

To help the child of lonely plights

Like cornered nights within the nights,

Seek to forgive, to care

And touch those hollowed call

Of wanderlust that loves them all.

My brother, I seek forgiveness from you

For I have drained of wasted breath

To journey celestial plains

Or seek the darkened souls which shirk

Beneath the power of might.

Evil, like those that smile at fortune

Is to be redeemed through love

And I would ask, oh, brother, mine

Are you brave enough to love?
