For My Brother, Now Beyond

Beneath the stars, where silence lies,

I search for you in endless skies.

The echoes of your laughter fade,

Yet linger still in memories made.

The world grew dim the day you went,

A heart now fractured, love unspent.

No words can bridge this yawning pain,

No tears can bring you back again.

Your voice, a song I strain to hear,

A whisper lost, yet ever near.

Your smile, a light that once would glow,

Now shines through all the lives you’ve sown.

The stories told, the jokes we shared,

The way you showed you always cared.

A bond unbroken, though you’re gone,

In every breath, you still live on.

I hold you close, though you’re afar,

A guiding light, my northern star.

Though death has placed you out of sight,

You walk beside me every night.

So here I stand, beneath the skies,

With tear-streaked face and heavy sighs.

I promise, though the road is long,

To live for both, to carry on.
