An Old Soul, Whispers.
Are we all but made to know sweet love My child To then lose it so tragically Only to try to covet it again Are we silently compelled to feel the sharp taste of being heartbroken From birth To seek someone new Here on Earth To take away the sometimes endless feelings and anxiety linked to pain After we receive our new name Are we all born alone, like lonely lost figurines Only to unconsciously seek true friends To help us along the way As we slowly walk towards the very end Are we all but just human Men and women just constantly reborn To live through a new campaign To atone for sins Committed when we were first here At the very beginning Way back when An old time when love was free And you could be anything you once prayed to see I still remember when I, too, once met love A stunning red-haired girl called Lucille Dela Moore Swimming voluptuously in a wicked world of beguiling emotions One day, as I waded knee-deep Into one of the world's many blue oceans Her name is a blazing memory of happier times For a brief moment We loved and lived in a world of new and old love crimes Making love Telling stories and revelling in all its newfound glories But now set free by disease from my previous human life And awaiting my time to be judged Standing in line With so many fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers By this Great Old Portals Rock We all now stand upon I sometimes wonder In the quietness of this omnipotent darkness I'm stuck in Does she still remember me My beloved Lucille From when we first met Many years ago In late November When her dim yellow light I once did see A thought still lingers Was that single moment just the doorway to one of my earthly sins Will I forget her Like all the rest of my life In this The threshold to the very end Like the cold Winters winds That I once used to feel Which blew in so effortlessly in from the West When I ascend Will her name be a mere footprint in Times logbooks Of wet, never-ending rhymes Is my now deep love for her One of this life's subtle sins The Toll Keeper in the Great In-Between Will eventually call in When I'm eventually reborn Into that persistent old domain To pay for my previous love crimes Tasked to not feel but to just walk alone As a divine payment and retribution for foolishly abandoning A gift of free life-changing love Called Lucille In my previous lifetime
