When Souls Cry

Uncanny the feeling how my soul knows yours It was in a silent dark emptiness when yours cried out mine answered Waking my very being from a deep slumber How do I rationalize the call of one soul to another beckoning to mine It's pull like that of the moon on the earth's water each night enticing it, compelling mine to respond As if they held a physical link of some kind Inviting me to come to you As if perhaps they had lived in another life together In another lifetime happy and their cries are their way of saying they only want what once was

A yearning supreme this poem be, Brenda. Anticipation is the passion rush. Meeting such is then anticlimactic. Beautiful expressions from a very talented poetess. Love and joy forever.

That several people hence have read this poem and yet deigned to comment is between them and their conscience...or lack of one. This poem is simply staggering in its brilliant simplicity. It is clear, concise and direct in all the best aspects of the very best poetry...yet still it imparts a great sense of enchanting mystique and inexplicable strangeness that is the core quintessential requirement of all great poems. Brenda, I stand and applaud -- simply magnificent!!!! in sincerest admiration.
