soul travels

at night when the guard is down
and the universe is tired
and only watches with amused eyes
things that go on

tha is when the gates
between this world
and many others
are opened
that is when the soul
flies through them

and that is when we visit each
though we be miles apart

and i know this for sure

that in the beginning his soul
hovered nearby and hesitated
knocked but only with soft breaths
at her door

and she fell asleep
with faint echoes of his name
pounding through her heart
no word was spoken,
and none was heard
and yet the name coursed
through her veins

and hen his presence
was a question
a little flicker of candlelight
far away
that she wanted to follow
and reach

now it is grown
into a home
 a warm presence that
surrounds and engulfs
even when they are miles apart
and does she not
leave her world behind and
burrow into his soul
every night?
