Annya
On this day it happened
On this very day
On this day you left this earth
Greeted the heavens with your new birth
On this day the mystery began
The silence, confusion, my head began to bang
On this very day my heart danced to your new song
A tune no one living has ever sang
To this day I don’t understand
Forced to accept the missing one
To this day it hurts
How did I lose this one
To this day your footprint still remains in the sand
Three years to the day, still you go on
To this day they say your name
Tears in eyes, hearts in feeble hands
Annya why did this happen
Who did this
Show me the one
If for only a moment
I could once again hold your hand

To my deceased sister, Annya Duncan
