Closeness in a heartbeat

Something about souls

Maybe we knew each other in a past life

 

Maybe we were trees in Eden

we grew next to each other

our roots tangled

our branches touched and when the wind blew through

our leaves whispered the same tune

 

Maybe we were teardrops from a great poet's eyes

we met and formed a stream down his cheek

as he shed us for his lost love

and mourned the death of his heart

 

Maybe we were penguins

winter time; I'd fish, you'd nurture our egg

come spring; we'd meet by the sea,

you'd call out for me, I'd find you and

our bodies would move clumsily in a perfect rhythm of happiness
