SOULMATE AND FATE

You cannot have a soulmate . . .

whose breath you cannot feel.

Lonely is for dreamers . . .

who haven't learned to heal.

Nor can you have a lover . . .

whose presence you are denied.

Alone is not the way of love . . .

not now, the hereafter, or when somebody died.

Give your heart to an earthly goddess . . .

see what she does with you.

Set your soul on a journey . . .

understood by a privileged few.

Wrap your arms around real love . . .

she lives and lies next to you.

Remember to do it quickly, for fate is fickle . . .

and her best temptations are few.
