You Are My Soul
You are my soul.
Without you life does not
Breathe or bring
Existence to all the
Colors that surround and
Circulate my being.
I know we have been
Connected long before time was
Time and wrong became right.
My Dearest,
Meaning has become
Real, reliable, dependable—
Authentic,
Like no other tangible thing
I could ever trust to know.
In you, I have found
My left and right,
My east and west,
My direction,
My compass
In a world where I would surely
Be as lost as the stars searching
For salvation from the deep
Dark space that surrounds and
Encloses them.
Please find all the comfort and
Compassion in knowing that you
Have and will always be—
Forever!
And what forever
Will always be,
That certain limitless character
Who has shaped
My past,
My present,
My destiny.
You are my soul.
