Poem written by Benjamin Wiechel

"Soul Mate"

A pause
The world slows
Time stops
The air grows silent
A chill passes through me
I close my eyes
And listen
Feeling
Someone is there
Someone nearby
I feel her presence
Someone special

I follow the faint traces
Left by her calling
Searching for her
Following behind
I catch short glimpses
Of her ahead of me
In my mind
A calling
A sending

I stop and think
Why am I following?
Who is this woman?
What is she to me?
Then I realize
I discover inside me
That I know her
That I have always known her
The missing part of my life

Now I race as fast as I can
My legs churning
My feet thrashing the pavement
I close my eyes
And use my mind
Her thoughts
To guide my footsteps

Gradually I catch up
She turns around
Smiling softly
Hazel eyes piercing through me
I melt
I realize she is the one
She holds out her arms
And I settle into them
I can feel inside
How right this is
How right she is
The empty holes in my life
Quickly filling to the brim

Two rings of gold
Tied together
The bond is love
And one day
The two shall be one
A bond throughout time
A link that shall not break

A love so great
Caring so powerful
None can replace
Or begin to overpower
Ne'er broken nor separated
Nor torn to pieces
A bond throughout time
Two melded into one
Forever and always
Will these two hearts be one
