Letter to a Kindred Spirit

Dear One,

You are like no other  one I’ve ever known. You are a flaming star in the midnight sky. You are an enchanter and I am your captivated audience. You weave spells. You are magic.

So closely I feel towards you. Dare I say that in you I see me? We are like opposite reflections in a mirror. You shine from the outside in. I shine from the inside out. It’s the inside though that we feel the same things deeply. It is why we feel things so deeply in the same way that we are kindred spirits. Ah, yes, I feel this so strongly. I know this to be true. I am certain.

You may never know me though. We don’t travel in the same orbit- perhaps we do telepathically but never consciously. You have not taken notice of me. I am like the many fallen leaves outside your window. Alas, this makes me sad and, can I say, I have shed many tears because of this. I can wish but I cannot force.

Life is life though. It can be cruel at times. So many people are put on our path. We learn from them. We yearn for them. We get lost in them. We love them. In the end, though, we are not meant for them and we must let them go.

Just know that you’ve touched me. I shall always be grateful for that. Your eyes may never see. Your ears may never hear. Your heart, though, knows my touch. I have left my imprint there. I am the gentle brush on your soul.

Forever,
Your Flame

    This started out as something to release some pent up feelings but turned into a letter written to a kindred spirit. That’s how my mind flows.

    Your poetry is very good Barb. Excellent actually ……and this one is pretty good but who was it towards? I’m looking at the date and find it very intriguing to learn the answer.
