Dawn - Evangelia Botsis

My sister’s gone 

Like pollen leaving a dandelion  In the air the white dust swirled 

Leaving its respective flower as she left us

Our beloved family

Shattered to pieces of glass

Normalcy a mere thought

I yearn for everything to be as it was

The past so haunting but beautiful 

If my eyes shut for long enough 

There we are holding hands and never letting go

Running through fields of color

Our imaginations never ceasing 

Till the brink of dawn

More commonly known as Eva by her family and friends, she yearns for knowledge in everything. Nature has always been so beautiful to her and she uses it to convey emotion in her poems.
