Write/Right to Live

By Karen Silva

I am my sister’s keeper,
Within me, she keeps her secrets.
I am my sister’s confidant,
Within her I instill confidence.

Past her green, caramel, or brown eyes
there is another world.
As planets move at different paces and directions,
they all coexist.
As can I, with my sis.

Terminate that greed or jealousy,

Converse over talents and skills,
No need for envy when both can be,
Beautiful and talented,
Let’s both plant a seed.

There are different scents,
Peppermint candy, cucumber melon, raspberries.
There are also different prints,
Flower petals, zebra stripes, and butterfly wings,
They all make for a beautiful quilt.
