Soul MateSoul Mate
by Jaime Fradera
This should be read to a

background of vividly imagined celestial imagery;
soft, ethereal music,
the distant crash of breaking surf,
a clear night,
a full Moon,
a brilliant canopy of stars ...

                            Soul Mate
Even as astronomers probe the heavens,
Listening for the faintest spark
from minds
we feel must certainly be there,
although we do not as yet
have evidence or proof of it,

day by day, the distance is shortening.
Hour by hour, the circle is closing.
Perhaps it is these thoughts and words
that will jump across the shrinking span
of Time, of Circumstance, and Space
that still must lie between us.
Perhaps it is this query, going out,
that will be heard, acknowledged and returned.


And then the circle will, at last, be closed!
Then there will no longer be a doubt
I am a part of the human race,
that I did make a difference, after all,
that whatever men or gods of fate
might do, or have in store for me,
I can feel stronger and less afraid,
knowing You are there
to take my hand,
knowing I will not be alone
anymore.

Your words set the mood
in such a way
that I could experience it too. *s

With a title like that, I was afraid this would be a weak wash of sentimentality -- but this is full of strength, wit and waiting ... everything that makes a poem worth reading.

Yes, Yes, Yes, absolutely wonderfully worded here.  A this has my  vote.  Soul mates are very special people indeed....and I have to add... you painted the scene for the reading so well.... I think it should be a part of the finished poem.

Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.

Soul Mate poetry definitely belongs in Passions Reflections book. LOL, I think I've already voted at least once for this, starlight Jaime.

What a great way to voice your faith (it seemed that way to me).  I suspect the signals are going out, when He is already deep within.  Nicely written.
