Do you think reincarnation is just a theory?
Tender lips greet me At dawn's most early light I have waited like a shadow Under the plane tree, Inside of Eden's door Where the wind echoed "You have waited here before." I dissolve into starlight, Roaming under moonlight, Beneath the streaming light That bathes wavering trees Now the call of a far off song - As whispers of the night, Fade into this early light Revealing the long road ahead - On the other side of reality My lover waits for me.

Ditto all previous comments. Funny how we can hear "the call of far-off song" when we're most in tune with who we are and why we're here. -D.

The very last verse is my favorite. My soulmate and I keep crossing destinies every few years, but there is always something that keeps us apart (like fate). I believe we were sent here in this time to learn something, or maybe just to learn how we can't live without each other. In any event, I can't wait some days to "go home" because I know we will be together again there. This life just seems to be a lesson in torture and us suffering while being apart.Maybe to make us appreciate and love each other all that much more because neither of us has found true happiness here.

I wonder about this ALL of the time b/c I do believe that I have a 'soul-mate' I write about it all of the time, sense him, feel him and yet it goes against my 'teachings' but I still can't help but believe. Very beautiful. JC
