Dear Brother I can barely speak,
Each word is frozen on my tongue,
My breath grows forced, my body’s weak
And though I am no longer young
I feel the loss of many years
Where stress has stolen treasured times
And values fell away from sight
To be replaced by daily fears,
Yet I blame no one for this crime
That let me cast my face from light.
Dear Brother I can barely see,
Your image dims before my eyes,
I seek my long lost memories
To live the pictures I’m denied
Yet blurry smudges but remain
To taunt this broken desp’rate man,
So lost yet glaringly aware
This world considered me arcane
Before I baffled doctor’s plans!
And took more time than my fair share.
Dear Brother, I can feel the end,
The cold is clutching at my soul,
I’ll see Jenny soon, my friend,
And finally my arms will hold
Her gentle spirit close to me
As though she beat a quick retreat,
She lived far more than I have done,
She greeted life so gracefully,
And as I grip these ghostly sheets,
I leave to where I once begun.

This is for ProjectDFC's December Form Challenge.
This is Day 6: The Horatian Ode. This also had the prompt "Brethren"
An ode is a lyrical verse and its name comes from the Greek aeidein, which means to sing or chant.
An ode is typically written in praise of, or as a dedication, to someone or something that captures the poet's interest
or is an inspiration for their ode. The Horatian ode is the creation of the Roman poet, Horace.
There are a few different lengths and rhyme schemes with this form but for our purposes,
we will use the 10-line stanzas with the rhyme scheme ababcdecde.
Meter is iambic tetrameter or pentameter. Minimum length is one stanza, there
is no maximum.

Very captivating, it's absolutely beautiful. I love how you know what's going on, without actually saying it, that is something that I would love to do and perfect.
