“Breaking Away”
There they circle
Two star travelers
From eternity’s womb
Freedom pulling them apart…
The old soul ‘s love burns
In consuming hope
Unable to stop fear’s ashes
From covering hearts once joined…
They encircle love’s mystery
This reluctant master and her apprentice
Spinning apart in pride’s pull
Balanced on apprehension and curiosity …
The coming path beckons
Known to one and awaiting the other
Alike in their blindness
Both seeking love’s assurance…
They battle for control’s illusion
Against abandonment’s terror
As all birthing stars must
When now passes into another time…
Their listening hearts will touch again
In a future orbit with knowing and gratitude.
