REINCARNATE

By Stormie Harley

This may be the most devastating thought I have had.

Do you think both of us are at the end of our lives?

Like a cat on their ninth,

We won’t be back again.

Calling it quits at the end of a long, metaphysical journey.

The most heartbreaking thought;

Will I ever get to experience you again?

Will my heart ever recognize yours again?

Or have we recycled so many times that both our souls cannot bear

to come back once more.

What if I have one more trip back left in my core

But your journey has completed?

How can I stand to never know you again?

I will have to watch the stars and remember you there;

Distant and of another lifetime.

Such as a blurry dream that slips from memory,

Right as you rouse awake.
