Sister in a Photograph

Today I looked into the past,
it all began when that picture
fell to my lap. Gurls
in their sunday best, tentativley
smile back at me.
It was another time another
place.

Today broken promises are
remembered, they flood in
with every glance
at the yellowed photograph.
Remembered is a love,
one flown away on angels wings.

Today my feet led me down
to that house in the valley,
inside the walls whisperd
our long ago told secrets.
In your bedroom I sat,
and cried with the abandoned
walls. Gone a sisters love,
never to be found again.
