TWIN FLAME

I never heard of such a thing
Just viewed your visage in Spirit form
In that instant, though a child
I knew I was the center of your storm

I grew and the experience stayed
Like etching on a precious stone
Yearning for a normal life
Where I would not be required to be alone

Finally, a mate came, though I knew
The red flags flew high and proud
Surviving that relationship
Left TRUTH silent and trauma loud

I'm sad my children watched it all
I can feel the weight of a failed example
Wanting and not getting is one thing
But cutting that thread because value in not ample

It's not in my path to let you go
Though I do not know your expression
I will flow with full hope and joy
Knowing you will appear in memory's resurrection.

Beautiful expression of longing for a genuine flame, Trudy. These are rare & their appearance is totally controlled by God, when both are ready & sufficiently healed, so self Love has to come first. This line of yours is a good summation of your poem: “I will flow with full hope and joy”. X.
