Esra’a and Harif From so far way Never met Not yet anyway Twins of the soul Sharing humanities goals Scared of shadows and nefarious ways Hero's whose wisdom I hope shall last and stay I cry for the strong ones however meek Wishing them peace for the bravery they speak Walking along that long river of hope It pours rain on my breast as solace I grasp and grope

Arthur, twins of the soul - still long odds against meeting, in my opinion. However - better now with the internet versus decades back.

Arthur, I have often wondered if we really do have twin souls out there. Wouldn't it be something to meet one? A very thought-provoking write, Arthur. Well done!

Bravo Arthur:-) Both are proud of their sexuality and are hero's in their own right such a shame there is so much bigotry in the world. Powerfully penned I am sure Harif will be very touched:-) hugs Jan xx
