ETERNAL

Again I am beckoned to enter
the misty realms of shadows,
where time is not a tight rope
from which one could fall from
and somehow magically disappear
But it becomes and is the helix,
entwining and nurturing me
And if I should fall from here,
I know I would reappear there
So many wonderful possibilities
of other times and other places
Some which I have lived before,
while others are still to come
And, throughout all these times
there is the constant and comforting
presence of my true spiritual self,
as it continues with its evolution
For I have a mystical touchstone
who gently calls to me and urges me
to become much more than whom I was,
and certainly more than whom I am now
The gentle whispers I sometimes sense
emanate from my one true soul mate
For we are in tune with each other
and no distance really separates us
We were forged together as twins
in some ancient fire of design,
to meet when the time was right
and after our individual lessons
And I admit, that I weep sometimes
because of our temporal separation
and my eternal aspiration to gaze
once again into her wondrous eyes,
much like the weary soldier in battle
who longs and dreams for the moment
when he may go home to rest and live
an existence of peace and love forever
The tears fall so freely at these times
with no shame nor incriminations,
for I have seen the light and promise
of what it means to be an eternal soul
