kindred spirit
My kindred spirit took flight....
he made the great escape.
Now my own spirit cannot fly....
until I'm called to the gate.
My wings shall lie broken now....
a solo spirit cannot soar.
Two souls in God's plan laid out....
so now what is my life for?
he made the great escape.
Now my own spirit cannot fly....
until I'm called to the gate.
My wings shall lie broken now....
a solo spirit cannot soar.
Two souls in God's plan laid out....
so now what is my life for?

what you said is so wrong yet so true
nothing will be accomplished if it is just you
it takes two to achieve the task of Life
one is you & the Other Is Christ....

Desire to fly
Let me start by saying I like this poem and can relate. Searching for the meaning in life is what philosophy and religion were born for. As long as humans have been able to ask questions, this is the one we all ask. But kindred souls are not so easy to define, and considering how hard it is to come up with the answer to the meaning of life, that doesn't make it an easy task to find someone that is truly a kindred spirit.
Religious answers are based in faith, but for many of us, an answer based in faith is as empty as the feeling you get from losing someone you thought was a kindred soul.
Death makes this question all the more important when asking why you have been left behind. Sometimes people lose their faith over this while others find it. Belief aside, you are here for however long life allows you to be and though it may seem impossible, the one renewable resource we have is love. You can fly again if you will allow your wings to heal. jj

your words are all true, goodest.
but my lord also said that we are not meant to walk this world alone. yes, with him at all times...but he also meant with one of our earthly kind.

thank you for your comments, compliment, and perspective, poetryman.
i don't really consider myself religious or philosophical, but more spiritual because it is much simpler to me.
i absolutely agree that it is not easy to find kindred spirits in this life, but they're out there if we are lucky enough to cross paths with them. unlike the infamous soul mate, in which it is said we have one...i believe we have many kindred spirits out there.
i would be interested in hearing how you would define a kindred spirit, or a soul mate for that matter...as there are many different ideals. i am going to post something i wrote once based on my own ideas, when i'm done here, and would love to hear what you think!
maybe you will understand, with a little more clarity, my line asking why i was left behind..if i explain that he and i had both been suicidal souls the entirety of our lives, through every age and season. but we had a bond to trudge on regardless, to battle the world and it's trials being there and helping each other through whatever trial came next. and because we were gonna hold on to find out what our true purpose and meaning for it all would eventually prove to be, believing that it infinitly would. we both had always felt death would be preferable to existance most of the time, but we were not gonna give in on each other...or that romeo and juliettestyle, we would edcide together. so when he took flight without me, it was the ultimate betrayal. i have been through a myriad of emotions in the last 7 months, and probably have yet to experience all of them that come with being a suicide survivor...so some of the things i have written during this time, alot of people will not understand, or think i am certifiably crazy! lol and yes, you're right, losing my faith, and slowly finding it again are two of those experiences.
in my spirituality i have come to believe that our purpose for existance is to love every one trudging through life along with us, and to help them how we can, when we can. simplicity at it's finest. and i hope you are right that love is the renewable source...easy to believe in when it is a love that can be recieved also..harder when it seems you are the only person seeming to want or be willing to give it.
healing is what i am hoping for, no matter how strange, crazy, or wild the words flow from pen to paper. however, for suicide survivors, we may heal (i hope), but we will never "get over it". add the situation when a survivor completely understands the suicide desire, and it only increases the difference in the suffering/grieving than that of the loss of someone through other methoods. learning to fly again, lyrical angel.
