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. |

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. |

A soul mate is the best thing anyone could ever have. Very beautiful words, Jaime. --Liz It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got... |

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. Sherry 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. |
