Karma

Interrupted my life,
yours did,
and opened a window
through which spirits blew
displacing everything I believed,
instilling love so profound,
I was born again.
And my Father’s Father
who believed in the essence of souls,
told me yours. . .
was always mine.
Karma tied us, inexplicably, unbreakably.
We have always been one,
you and I, Us – since souls began.
But you closed the window,
broke the Karmic bond,
sealed me in a place
that won’t even let me die;
won’t give me the grace
of oblivion,
just leaves me feeling, unendingly,
the love, so profound,
I was born again in Us,
as in you and I,
now,
just Me.

Jimmy,

So often when I read your poetry, I find myself just lost in the beauty of it.  I am always glad to find out that it is not about you - however, you still sweep me up in how well you write about life.

It's so true, life is a delicate weave and love is complex in it's simplicity!

Oh the irony of it all!!!  

Good stuff, jwesley~
