One Soul, Two Halves

One Soul, Two Halves

I feel my heartbeat at night,
When the moon's soft glow lights my realm of dreams.

Steady, Strong, Unending strength forcing life anew
Through my body and soul; mysterious processes to ponder.

And in those times when sleep approaches as a cat seeking prey,
I can feel something else; something just beneath my perception.

An echo; faint murmur of a memory that insists it must be,
For I can sense the imprint of another.

One that has beaten in unison with mine for eons of nights,
So familiar that it only occurs that it is gone on nights of quiet loneliness.

Empty pillow that can never return a small caress
Cool sheet, unable to generate the warmth of an embrace.

Our souls reside together, though apart in this new life,
But I am not lonely now.

The missing drummer of my heart is remembered.
I close my  eyes and feel the dual thump, thump, thumpity thump

For I can remember readily now
We are two halves of one soul...

And though our God has temporarily given us other lessons to learn this time around,
I found you anyway...

One soul split for but a flash of time.
Learning, waiting, yearning for the day of joining once more.

And have no doubt,, that day  will come again soon.
With lessons learned, and both parts renewed.

To move our joint creation,
Into an eternity of bliss.

Dedicated to Sandi, the one true missing half of my soul! I Love You!
