Split second enlightenment......

...adrift , on the sea of life.....
we are on different oceans
driven by different tides and winds
from different ports
towards the same destination?

....a chance storm, jagged lightning strike
lights up the darkness
that separates us
i see you from another lifetime 
recognition ignites my being
sparks from the depth of my soul
...........did you see me too?

a destiny that may or may not be
till then, I love another -  equally
my two destinies, past and present
crush the breath from my lungs.....

and, breathless, i wait ...
for another chance
another lifetime.......


it doesn't really matter
when
all I want 
is recognition
a reminder of
our immortality......
