Rebirth
My eyes are dark and intense
I'm an old soul restricted by limited capacities
I’ve had to return to deal with outstanding debt
The lights are too bright; the noises too shrill
I miss the warm cocoon I was nestled in
With time I master my motor skills
My strong temperament is evident even since
From the start I long for love and nourishment
Hard to come by lost among the herd
I perceive that something is amiss
I feel the antagonism among those close to me
This scares me very much
The arguments, yelling, and suffering
Why oh why bring someone into this earth
Just my luck I have to endure this
Oh well, I muse as I hope someone cleans me up soon
At least one good thing to look forward to
I am impatient to find my soul mate again
Roaming this earth while paying his debt
Will we instantly recognize each other when we meet?
Or perhaps too late?
conditioning selecting our prospective mates?
forcing one to love someone dear as air from afar?
Surely that would be a colossal fine to pay
For love makes the perilous journey all the worthwhile
