~Brother to Brother~

~when I look into your eyes I see~
  ~a rewind/fast-forward reflection~
  ~of two small boys~
  ~standing before the forest of their lives~
  ~breath of wind~
  ~& they are blown~
  ~hand in hand~
  ~into a storm of years~

~there is a flurry~
  ~of fists and lips & angry eyes~
  ~tears, grief & separate joy~
  ~as they pursue individual dreams~
  ~chase money & women~
  ~madness & music~
  ~the mysteries of paths apart~
  ~& alone~

~when the smoke of time clears~
  ~there are two small boys~
  ~wearing the faces~
  ~of the men they have become~
  ~their hands meet~
  ~they embrace~
  ~standing before~
  ~the forest of their lives~
  ~a fresh wind holds them~
  ~whispering~

~blood is not brother~
  ~yet no friend is like~
  ~a brother of the blood~
