Quietly I think of days
When today remained tomorrow
And tomorrow an eternity away.
Your flute, my aniki, plays
The gentlest tune --
Was that the sonata for me?
I recall days where the sun shone like fire
Illuminating your perfect eyes.
We are reflections:
You of me and I
Mirror you. I feel grateful
Because you are my twin,
Because you raised me, while
Taking neither time nor pleasure
For yourself. Your smile
Serene and gentle
Was my sunrise. I
Recall those days, after our parents' death
Where we wandered in fear,
Bloodstained and hopeless.
But it wasn't long until
You figured it all out. I'd have been
Lost without you.
You always were the driving force for my spirit...

Lavender, valerian, crystalline heather...

... and beneath your lullaby, I sleep soundly.
