Reunion
Reunion
Like snowflakes falling
Silently in the night
I am unaware of the beauty
About to unfold in my sight
You stand in front of me
After a lifetime of years
Memories roaring back
Bringing with them tears
Separated as teenagers
Daddy with a shotgun
A baby on the way
Our parents come undone
You travel east
And I am sent west
Never meant to be
We were told it was for the best
You served our country
Our baby was adopted
Turning away from my family
It was never what I wanted
I left them all in the past
My spirit had been broken
Living a better life alone
Another word was never spoken
Here you are now
A ghost from before
A buried secret
We could never ignore
Your smile the same
It’s as if no time had passed
The lonely years forgotten
We are together at last

Searching
Searching
Truncated from my other half
Robbed of my powers
I search the world
For a lifetime
Looking for my twin
Calling from the highest towers
He is out there
I hear his voice calling
Driven to find
The missing piece
I push forward
No fear of falling
Every part of my being
Takes me to a milestone
Where you might be
If there is a soul mate
for everyone
Why do I wander alone?
