Soulmate
The most selfless thing I have been challenged with
Is learning how to love myself
There I find her
Standing amongst the stars
Between still faced shadows
Ill-tempered with contrary eyes
A heart dripping of gold
I take her hand in mine
Her sacrifice to make me whole
As she ascends and bursts
Producing sparks of waves and color
A swirling cosmic galaxy
If ever I believed in a soulmate
It was when my shadow-self fell in love
With the break just before the day
When the dawn brought the darkness
Before her light scattered and fell into my lungs
Inhaling and exhaling the beauty behind surrender
Finding my solitude in letting go
