By Charles Robert Lindholm
how can my soul be so bonded to you
and my heart hold such love for you
deep inside
and yet
we cannot be together?
The reality of sharing life
seems to escape us
like the disappearing
shadows on the ground
teasing us with hope
and a future
that never
turns into now
but remains
forever fantasy

Ahhh, yes! ‘Tis true. Life often seems to be like the tides, highs and lows. Sometimes things just aren’t meant to be. I guess those “laces” give the weave of our lives their own uniqueness and meaning!! I’m so very happy this reached out to you, Dear Megha!!
