Union of Souls

A gifted painter, an inspired poet-Destiny did Entwine,
Two lives enhanced, then balanced by this rare moment in time.

Dedication discovered, built on the secret truths of the past,
This union is eternal-fates enduring gift to last.

Reflections of each other-understanding the need to unite,
Recognizing the shadows cast by the dark and the light.

This union of souls cannot be broken, never compromised,
Completed by one another's presence, their paths finally realized.

Solitude exchanged for protection-enforcing this brotherly bond,
Acceptance, and faith-assure their Journey's goal and beyond.

Janet Marie

** written for 2 friends of mine who had an extraordinary friendship...they were a lesson in respect, commitment, and trust.

Love comes in many forms...love of a friend is one. At times, I think perhaps it is one of the strongest!

Question: Is there a particular reason - on line one - that you capatilized "Entwine?"

I think I'm going to print this out and frame this...but then again I think I'd have to do that with ALL of your poems!

This is great!

It means a little more to me now that I've got a true girlfriend now...I swear she's like no other (is that an old line?)...

What a remarkable poem about a special kind of soulmates!  I really enjoyed this.

Relationships come and go but friends stay the same. I like this one

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.
