11:17 a.m., November 17, 2004

Eight years ago today
we sat across from one
another, weary minds
wandering
far from designated
topic of discussion,
hearts pounding
in symphonic waves of
synchronicity.

Aching from hell of a
separation endured
in daily
proximity, for one
brief eternity we
shed pretense
and existed in the
perfection of presence.

So beautiful, twin souls
rising, then converging
and merging
into one, as we are
meant to be, serving side
by side and
learning not to hide light
emerging from within.

Found, full of everything,
we twirled ‘round far star and
became a
bridge stretched above all things.
Impossible to find
point where I
ended, where you began.
Across conference table

That day, our souls melded.
and the color of our
lives blended.
Our hearts became one flame
indistinguishable,
its searing
white heat branding us with
imprint of the other.

So beautiful, twin souls
rising, then converging
and merging
into one, as we are
meant to be, serving side
by side and
learning not to hide light
emerging from within.

Another November
now. I mourn your absence,
await the
fulfillment of promise
greater than all that would
divide us,
for unity remains
true st, highest calling.

I beseech you: find light
in my eyes, remember.
Reach across
horizons, obstacles,
what seems impossible.
Find me there
still a part of your heart,
and you, here, one with me.

One of your best pieces, Dawn. Or... could it be because I feel this one so deeply? Excellent.

Dawn, a truly, deeply, inspiring, heartfelt composition, which clearly illustrates the unnecessary pain and suffering, one goes through because of separation. Yet there is light at the end of the tunnel for those willing to recall the magnificence shared in such a wondrous and loving relationship that could spawn something as beautiful as this is. Thank you for sharing it. Take care and be well.

The longing of the soul is near, as is the volumes in which this fine piece speaks.
