“In another life, our souls would intertwine, our hearts would synchronize, and our love would be real.”
Compose a poem based off of this quote and theme of “in another life”.
Time And Places
Where does your heart go
When you fall asleep at night
It beats next to mine
To some far off tune
While I lay and whisper to the moon
If the sun hung just a little lower
Still rose each morning, only slower
Could roses bloom without their thorns
And could I in laying on your chest
Give racing thoughts a place to rest
If earth waits to turn
When we’re still on a page
Could we stay bound to the moment
Before it turns to stardust
Could then a heart plagued by fear
Turn to one filled with trust
In knowing that impermanence
Need not shackle the soul
So as time stands still
We have a chance to feel whole
Maybe one universe over
Maybe three lifetimes away
The stars are sewn with a different thread
And the moon and sun lay snug in orbit
Our two hearts beat in tandem
As we giggle and we say
“How lovely to know
As we learn and we grow
That it can always
and will always
be just this way”
