Sonnet 1 ~ Awakening

When did your soul first whisper to my heart?

Were we born of the same eternal flame?

I sensed your presence from the very start,

My soul loved yours before I knew your name.

Awakened by your words, my soul can’t sleep.

It drifts through realms of darkness seeking you,

Forever crossing oceans, wide and deep,

Until one day our souls are joined anew.

But time and distance separate us still

In this life, as in countless lives before.

Kept worlds apart by destiny’s strange will,

Cruel fate conspires against our souls once more.

Can stars divide us for eternity?

Have faith — eternal flame binds you and me.
