Twin Souls
They stood together one last time
dreading what came next,
having seen the path before them,
having written their own text.
"Being born again," she looked at him,
"is scarier than dying.
I fear the pain and illnesses,
physicality's so trying."
"And how am I to bear it,"
her green eyes filled with tears,
"knowing I'll be half a soul
for all of fifty years?"
"We must be brave and live these lives
and try to do no harm,
so that down the road we'll meet again
and you'll be in my arms."
"We must try to mend our karmas,
that's why we chose these paths,
the suffering will be worth it
for the heavenly aftermath."
"I shall always feel half-empty,
though I guess I won't know why,"
and the enormity overcame them
and they both began to cry.
"Have faith, my lambs," they heard God say,
"for the two of you are blessed,
and you' ll be reunited
once you've passed your earthly tests."
"And the glory will be heavenly
and mystical and sweet,
and you will be rewarded
when you two finally meet."
"You'll know a love that's boundless,
as you once again are whole.
Most people aren't so lucky,
to share a life with their twin soul."
So bravely they went forward
and their memories were erased,
they struggled half a century
and then came face to face.
It was just as God had promised,
and they cherished every day,
and their love-light was a beacon,
and their love-light shone the way.
