Not in This Lifetime

 

A sweet melody plays across the sky,

While we sit, a world apart,

But the glassy lake which stretches endlessly between us is not everlasting,

It will dry when the tears of the world are wiped away.

 

It is true that we may not meet in this lifetime,

But our souls will carry the longing on forever,

So, while we sit alone, we must not be regretful,

For we are just two solitary souls with a single dream.

 

And, although this world may not be the place for us to be together,

That is just because it was not made with our fate in mind,

But when everything passes, we will not be bound to this world,

So our fate will be ours to decide.

.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is dedicated to the one who sits on the other side of the lifeless lake.  Maybe one day the world will let us meet.

Optio

Silver surface

Face unbroken 

The pool, lifeless

We've been to this place

A choice before you

A call sounds

A glimmer finds you

What will you do?

 

It is true

You may never meet

This side of the sea

That we call fate

But open your eyes

There's power in you

To cut through the lies

And yet move.

Two choices in front

Which do you choose?

Content in watching from far

Or move and satisfy your heart?

 

You have a gift, amicus

And yet another choice

Will you develop a gift

Through writing, gain voice?

Keep writing.

 

Your Friend,

~Seraphim~
