Separation from the Souls
By Robert Stephen Herrick
When paths become parallel
from lack of sight and speech,
things are no longer common
between the souls of each.
A clean cut or a jagged tear
bringing on tears torn or quiet loss
forlorn and shorn from what was
once a shared form of life.
Separation of the souls
within two parts broken away
from a happiness lost but in a day
with tattered dreams of what remains.
To the soul split apart by each
and every shattered thought
that befalls by the hour, by the minute,
by each and every moment, remember.
Remember the betterment that was
before the severance was done
and go on and pick up your feet
to walk again as a living human.
Life is short and love rules all
and even the great grow and fall,
so hold onto what you have left
and know that the best is yet to come.
Separation from the souls
clearly breaks two apart and away,
but know in your heart just this;
love will find you a way.
