Souljar's Lament
On What Cannot Be Repaired
"The stars remember. The Earth records."
The stars remember what the soul has lost,
the nightjar sings where silence learns to stay.
The earth records the shadow and its cost.
❧
The dawn arrives, but grief still counts the frost,
the twin flames severed, pulled too far away.
The stars remember what the soul has lost.
❧
The cracks of night show sorrow tempest-tossed,
the sky itself bends low, too dark to say.
The earth records the shadow and its cost.
❧
The voice is sundered, yet the bond is crossed,
the souljar mends with petals turned to pray.
The stars remember what the soul has lost.
❧
Though sorrow pours, the heart is never lost,
it seeks its twin across the veils of day.
The earth records the shadow and its cost,
the stars remember what the soul has lost.
