Soul Searching

Foundation.

Do you have a twin flame you are bound to look for and love, searching over many lifetimes?

Title: 
Soul Searching 

(A lone voice whispers)

I used to search everywhere, but now I just travel North 
To somewhere in the US

In the middle of a small city

Stand on a windowsill I finally found and watch
Watch my twin flame
Called Mary Jane 

Dancing and listening to her favourite vintage Motown music

Sometimes, I appear as a House sparrow or a yellow butterfly 

Just watching and waiting until we are reunited again

But I know our memories will be wiped before we take human form, to make our search more interesting 

So my last line is:

If you see a bird or butterfly watching you 
It could be your soulmate hunting

Who's been searching for you through time 

After its bell
This time around, has finally been chimed.
