a poem for my brother

break down dear brother
those sturdy walls 
of introspection.

pick up the sword 
of the spirit
and silence the darkness
that holds you captive.

turn your ear beloved son
from the voices
you hope will give you worth.

search, keep searching
for the sound of silence.
there you will find
the still, small whisper
of the one who gives you name.

rise up mighty friend
keep your lamp burning
with the fragrant oil
of worship.
