Soul Pieces
It seems uninteresting
Almost mundane
That two perfect halves of one soul were made
Made for a search unlikely to prevail
Made for “it just wasn’t the right time” kind of tale
“He was here too late”
“She knew it was bound to fail”
Made for an “almost” kind of love
How unlikely that the world is kind enough
For a match-made-in-heaven kind of fate
Instead
Maybe the world could breathe out fragments of soul
Shreds of one
small pieces of a whole
The bits you find of you in a few others on their way
Those who were made of dust from the same star
That once lit the milky way
Those who when you meet for the first time
It almost feels like a reunion
A familiar knock on home’s door
Like a coming together
Of what was never meant to be gone
Star dust with Soul Lust
You know its magic with eyes shut.
And even if in this world
That match was never meant to be made
Even if there were mountains and oceans
And years and hearts in between
You’d still find them
They’d still find you
you’ll meet
And you’ll know
And then on your way
you’ll go
