Two Souls in Recognition

As echoes ring out in the present,
and distance falls from reason,
those we knew so long ago,
stand before us anew,
as if time had just relented,
and age the only reminder,
experience the only decider,
as to who we are now
opposed to who we were,
back then.

Touching souls, rekindled,
we are but for times sweet grace,
and even though our directions strayed,
we are still connected, stories to tell,
loves and losses that melded
our hearts strong, so we belong
to our time and circumstance,
but the heart glows for this recall,
memories adrift and pleasured,
of a past never to have viewed the future.

Connection is deep,
for the soul remembers,
even if the present does not fit,
I appreciate the touch, the reflection
of what has transpired,
what has empowered our lives
to arrive in this time,
and in truth love still lingers,
as recognition surrenders to reality,
as we reiterate the cause.

There is a joy, knowing a family
far more than blood exists,
souls in feeling the connection,
but not having to apply it to life,
as we pass one another’s plight,
a fleeting glimpse of life’s changes,
swept away in our need for learning,
discerning the details of our path,
as we glean the aftermath
of every moment experienced.

And warm the afterglow,
that one moment of re-connection,
the touch of two souls
in recognition.
