My Brother... Ganesh(Annei) Poem by WIN VENTURA

Annei, I still hear your laugh in storms,
Your calm in chaos, your fire in norms.
You were my giant, fierce and kind,
The shadow I searched when lost in mind.

Why did the water steal you whole,
Yet leave behind your echo in my soul?
You didn't drown — you rose instead,
To sit in stars and guard my head.

I miss your voice, those brother eyes,
The jokes, the scolds, the shared sunrise.
I walk this life, but feel your grip,
Each time I fall, you tighten it.

I tell the gods: give me one day,
To see his face, hear what he'd say.
To hug him once, to say I'm proud,
To scream his name out loud.

But even without, I hold you near,
In every silence, you still appear.
You're not just gone — you're here, you stay,
My Annei, my strength, in every way.

Annei, if heavens open wide,
I'd run to stand once more beside.
To hear you say, "Don't cry, my dear, "
And feel your hand draw me near.
