If you reach out a hand to me
Across the void space
And fail to grasp mine
It is only that I am sleeping
Not knowing if on Sunday Terrorists again raised churches
Sending you on high alert
It is so hard
When oceans divide us
To know what is going down
Yesterday when you returned from patrol
And messaged me I was on the phone
Hearing a tormented story
And I failed to check the phone
Until we missed one another once again
At times it seems to me that you represent
The missing part of my soul
Masculine to my feminine
That the re-union of us
Here on earth is the only thing
That will make us both complete
But then when I consider
All the challenges we have undergone
Over four and a half months
And of the rage and despair that your absence or seeming misunderstanding
Have awakened in me at times I see the reason
That God or life gave us to each other
Lessons of love are those we learn
Only when the ego learns to die
To no longer care as much for our own safety
As for the safety of the one
We love
And wish to build our dreams upon
And even if they fail or crash and burn
Wont we have gained something
For isn’t it in opening our hearts and souls
To be so changed
That we will find that we
Are remade anew?
