          One goal one soul

The wind that touched your face today
And mine in gentle feel and play,
Embraced us since our very birth,
Forever with us on this earth.

Our breath has touched and joined with those.
In past and present since time arose.
And you and I have touched before
And will embrace forever more.

So do not ever feel left out
And do not ever harbor doubt,
That you and I are tied as one
And never will we be undone.

We all encircle time and space,
We live and die within this place.
We are together in one goal,
We are together as one soul.

The breeze that kissed you on the face,
Has held me in the same embrace.

I liked this one a lot, Seymour. Even though you didn't repeat the same lines in the first and last ones, the overall effect was that you did. I found the poem very gentle and sweet, and enjoyed your word choices. Thanks for sharing it.

I admire the gentle breezes
that blew me to this place ...
for just a chance to befriend
the man with such poetic grace.

A very nice poem.
Reminds me that we are shaped by those very breezes, and are but the sum total of everyone who has had an effect on our lives.
Thanks for the efflation.

*Vote* Do I need to add something? Yes I do, thank you for such a nice poem

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Well.. yes, it's the greatest, if a couple has common goals for their life together as one.. great poem (my interpretation may be wrong though)...
