Meeting Again

A Sonnet to a Past Life

By Dinah JohnstonPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read
The brave work of healing the heart of a thousand lifetimes of pain.

From the first moment, it has always been

Warmth and devotion, I felt it from you

That knowing, only the heart would have seen

Touches so deep, I just knew it love too

-

We have met before, this shared life to be

Without a doubt, in the pits of my soul

I hold so dearly what you mean to me

Despite the love, a pain that rips a hole

-

Over lifetimes, heavier by the day

Here a chance to share the darkness inside

Rising fear inside of what you might say

To die again, a truth too large to hide

-

Heart racing to tell you everything

Without you is like flying with one wing
