Journey of Souls

We travel different paths you and I
Yet we have found each other
Was it chance or destiny?

You have touched my soul like no other
And brought the sunlight into my life
That light that is your love

You've taught me to look beyond the pain
To break the chains that restrain me
You give me freedom from myself

Though we may never meet
You see me, you know me
You have known me forever

Though the paths we take may differ
We shall journey on as one
I shall always be with you

It is enough that I know, I love you

"Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am." ~ Van Morrison

Eddie, I am sure there are many here who would agree that these words could also speak of you, my dear friend. Thank you for that.

Dee

I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life.     a brand

My heart broke as I read these lines. They reminded me of a time when just that happened and I found a soulmate. And yes, though we shall never meet, we continue as one.
Thank you so much for this.

This is such lovely writing. Such lovely thoughts and friendship. I read it earlier today while at work (shh, don't tell my boss!!) and wanted to come back and tell you

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

You can repost things like this once a week, and I would be back each time to read it again, and again. Thanks for the wonderful poem, and a special thanks to the one who inspired it!

To break the chains that restrain me
You give me freedom from myself

Though we may never meet
You see me, you know me
You have known me forever
===================================

Across oceans and  equators and the distances measured by space we can touch with our words, see with our hearts...
Send her my gratitude for bringing you here...for many times you have touched me with your kind ways and gentle poetry...
Lovely dedication of friendship Eagle  

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.

Yes....an exquisite tribute to a beautiful
woman...and why do I KNOW she is beautiful
Well...because she urged you to find the
poet living within your heart and soul...
even if you did come kicking and screaming  
Friends like this are ones that rare and
precious...just like you! My thanks to
Roniece and my Bravo to you~

A quiet and rewarding surrender to that which you know will reside with you always. It is the most serene harbor. I loved this entirely. Very touching write.

Alan ~ Thankyou, I'm glad you enjoyed.

Janet ~ Once again you have me at a loss for the right words! I thank you Janet, for your kind words and your friendship, both are much appreciated.

Butterflies ~ She is a beautiful person, she brought me here and if not for that… well, you know!! True friends are indeed such rare and precious gems, treasures I hold dear. And I don't really think I was screaming that loud!  

Regina ~ Some friendships are like that, aren't they! Thank you, glad you enjoyed.

*sigh* you are so blessed to have such a friendship and she is blessed to be the inspiration of such a wonderful poem as this one is. I love it and all the tender emotions that go with it.  It is so good to read your work again, Eddie.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

It is almost a phenomenon that love can exist in the purest form of feelings
even if we never get the chance to touch the one we hold so dear in our heart.

Wonderfully romantic EagleOne.

I'm letting you know once more how deeply this touched my soul.  I know you wrote it some time ago, but it will never lose its meaning for me.  Thank you again.
