With certain friends,
some love transcends
the element of time
on this earthbound climb
toward enlightenment.
And some faces
bring up traces
of long-forgotten lives
and similar drives
on singular paths.
A knowing smile
and gracious style
will vanquish any doubt
that had come about
from promises dashed.
We then adjust,
allowing trust
to replace all those fears
acquired through the years
of walking alone.
Our amigo,
alter ego,
and spiritual friend
appears once again
at just the right time!
For our crossroads
have no bar codes.
At this intersection,
we need connection
with an ally new.
Who could appease
with so much ease
as a loving soulmate
here to validate
our latest travails?
Similar views
lead us to choose
to accept this rare gift
that causes a shift
in our outer world.
Life makes it known:
We’re not alone!
And not being afraid
ends the masquerade
so often in place.
It comes to mind
that Fate’s been kind.
And on this ageless friend,
we can now depend
to hold a mirror.
Reflected there,
we see a fair
representation of
an eternal love
shared by kindred souls.
And hearts this pure
will long endure
once these bodies are gone.
Our spirits live on
as forever friends!
