This Life And Beyond

I have
a shadow
a casting not
of my own
first I saw
an edge of him
now, how he
has grown
some things I know
about him
yet there are things
I’ll never know
lets me see
a side of him
to others
he would never show
so much
that we share
even the date
of our birth
though the years
are not the same
that we came
to this earth
once someone
tried to stop us
pull us apart
by hate
but fear
can not stop
what two souls
melted together create
we are
tied together
a tightly
knotted bond
friendship
is our travel
to this life
and beyond

"I have already paid for all my future sins." Sade...(King of Sorrow)

Absolutely stunning. There is much love in this wonderful poem. It speaks straight from the heart. I love it. **big hugs**

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

it's lovely, Helen, a bond like that is very, very special.

My perception of truth will somehow never quite be the same..and so I write.

h,
You could write a book with an opening line like this.
I like this picture.  Well done!
