there are some souls
who see and feel beyond
their own existence;
interwoven with the earth herself

gifted a sixth sense for the
silent suffering
a heart heavy with the knowledge;
a heart wanting to love
us all the more

we were born from the same spirit,
i think
your words
moved within me like my own

we loved beyond borders
or boundaries
or fear
hearts bloody wide open to each other
to us all
to it all

we shared a connection we did not
always have the words for
i was the parts of your life you
did not live, and
you were mine 

your silences often heavy
i knew
we shared the same light  
because we had the same darkness in us, too
