You have been woven through
the machine tines
and fabric
of my life for longer than I have ever known
Each step, skip and twirl moving us closer and closer
through the cosmic tapestry of time.
Tethered
to one another
by a red string.
Small
and unobservable
it binding us together for all time
Through this life
and the last.
We’ve chased each others tails for eons now
grasping and near missing.
Ballroom dancing in circles
that equate only to
almost’s
and unresolved yearning,
Is it all lost forever?
I wonder how close we came this time.
I smell you on the wind
and see you in my dreams
faceless soul but fettered infinitely.
It’s you who knows my heart song
Feels my pulse
between fingers and closed hands.
This beat
Continues on only for you,
an endless current under blood red skies
Life bringing machine.
I’ll wait for you in the cosmos,
winding through stardust
and tangled in the constellations.
This life and then the next.
Chasing you always.
