Baby's Cry.

entry picture

There was once a time,

That I dreamed for what felt like eternity -

It was all too real, 

And it left a long lasting curse upon me.

 

In my dream,

You appeared -

Harbouring a cold heart, but never a word.

A thought had crossed my mind -

"You and I only exist in a reality of non-existance."

So, take my hand and follow me -

Down an empty path where nobody can come between.

 

I think that for you,

The moment we met -

Was the start of it all.

I realise now, 

That for me - it was the unavoidable end.

 

For a short time, we were alone -

Our hearts were hidden,

Beneath the scars that opened and bled,

Beneath the recurring nightmares -

That the two of us experienced together.

 

I always had the habit,

Of speaking your thoughts for you -

You see, you and I are the same,

Neither of us had been born yet.

We conquered this dream,

Our world -

Our very own existance.

 

I stand before you, 

I see a glint in your eyes -

I know,

You and I are sharing the same thought.

I offer you my hand to take,

Maybe that moment was too late -

Because you only recoil, and send me off alone.

 

The darkness you and I were enveloped within,

Is the darkness that took me, and only me -

Shrouded within light, 

And a gentle smile upon your lips,

You waved at me good-bye.

 

The spot where you had stood upon,

Suddenly appeared empty.

My selfish greed had gotten the better of me.

I had thought -

"What is the point of existing, when the two of us could have eternity?"

 

It was your time,

I continued down the empty path without you -

And I could've sworn that I heard a baby's cry

Ringing in my consciousness,

You have been born -

Somehwere I could never reach you.

Angi, I think that reincarnation is a substitute for lonliness and it is a trap, a wasted chance to progress. A good write at exporing the subject. Tommy

Thank you very much. Your comment makes me really happy.

I think that your take on it is very interesting, and it really sounds like that is what my poem is about.

I wrote this imaging what it is like before people are reincarnated, and I do believe that people have that choice to back out of it or to accept the reincarnation.

This seems to be about twins in the womb. One was stillborn and the other was born healthy. However, the soul of the stillborn child was reincarnated as a baby somewhere else and it's twin still feels the connection. Well that's my take on it.
Really neat writing. Props to you.
