Soul Speak

Soul Speak

Tell me of your deepest yearnings
And need to feel you’re not alone
Trust me with memories you treasure
Have patience when I take that tone

And Wish for me all life’s goodness
Few tears that sting like braided rope
Patience and luck in equal measure
And strength anew to help me cope

Hoping to attract that kindred soul
With a longing that knows to wait
My heart opens up to accept the one
Forevermore to be my mate
