Helping You to Peace

Is it possible that you are my soul task---
that I must help you to understand
with crystaline perfection
the place you play in the wheel
within the wheel?
I cannot teach your soul---
the soul must learn itself,
but how is it
that you don't see
the truth of you
that shimmers before my eyes?
So quick to call it hero worship---
and yet to you I am something so fine and rare
that you worry if you are worth my notice.
So answer me this my twin, my love...
why are you the catalyst
of my personal magic?
why do we feel each others thoughts
so I cannot remember
what words you spoke
or what i knew from your spirit?
And what is it that I a meant to be---
they say that all healing is of itself,
and you say that i have done all my own,
but your face is close,
your spirit is close
and there is something I need to do
that is about you my love.
Do I know---truly?
Or is it just my foolish heart
hiding from what i was born to do
so it will never cry
for the loss of you?
