I.
In the beginning, we are born,
A soul around for the first time
In this grand scheme of the cosmos.
Vivid imagery surrounds us as we
Come into ourselves during this
Long journey into the world. Other
Souls mingle here, sharing the world
Until this incarnation subsides.
II.
Growth occurs in time, traveling this
Road of life, recurring again in repetition
As the circle continues to rotate, much
Like that of the Earth's rotation around
The Sun. We are born, we live, we die.
III.
In time, a Soul begins to comprehend
The memories that are obscured by dust
That sifts like grains of sand in an hourglass.
Memories that wink in and out like the
Twinkling of the stars that come out to
Play with the Moon at night, shedding a
Casual light onto the grand scheme of
The cosmos.
IV.
Realizations come into light, of meetings
That seem so much of chance, being
Random in their design, as souls travel
Onward through so many incarnations,
For souls are non corporeal and linger
Within the linear to bring forth memories
That can shine like the brightest stars.
It is this time, when souls shine the brightest
Within the timeline of life.
V.
The heart skips a beat as emotions
Are brought forth into the lime light,
While the soul recognizes that of
Some past companion, one from some
Other time, some other place. Shadows
Lift from within, casting such a glorious
Light that radiates with warmth and leaves
The soul singing much like a songbird
In the Spring. A grand gift this is! These
Memories that haunt the soul in dreams,
As well as waking life. They show the past,
These dreams, the memories of loved ones
Thought long lost to the depths of time.
Some linger longer than most,
But this is rare to find such a soul,
For more than most, souls cross paths for only
What seems to be the briefest of moments.
While others linger, they dwell within the
Heart and grow closer in each life. Some
May even call them soul mates, the ones
Who always find a way, find the path
Of those lost until the next incarnation.
VI.
Now is the time when all things click
Into place, signaling some sort of
Culmination of dreams, which spring
Forth into reality. Shared memories,
Shared emotions, glowing souls in the
Darkness. A soul once thought to be
Harboured for eternity in shadows now
Breaks its bonds to walk within the light
Of happiness, leaving the sadness behind
To linger in the dimness until some other time.
Hands tremble with excitement, nervousness
And all other emotions combined. The
Afterglow of sensing someone once known
Now found tingles the soul and it beams,
Glowing now like that of the Sun.
VII.
How long do paths cross? One shall
Never know for there is no timeline
To count the days, to count the moments
That are shared between two souls. As
Life comes full circle, with each incarnation
Of the soul, time begins to seem meaningless.
Should the braid of life ever fray, the bonds
Between shall always hold, for they are strong
Indeed! As shared dreams are once again
Placed out on the table of the cosmos, in
Vivid colours of the heavens. And the soul
Radiates, it bleeds, it feels and loves once
More. It is as if the Aurora Borealis have
Been birthed within the soul! This is the
Culmination of Fate's own hand, weaving
The threads of life as she goes about her
Work, and delicate work that is. For what
Brings those together, tis a mystery that
Shall forever be held within her tempered
Hands and nimble fingers as she places
Each strand of hair, our souls, into the
Never ending braid of life.
