Children of the Moon

Were we but pieces of the same whole

That parted in the fall to earth,

Are we but shattered beings

Who put our pieces back together

Not quite right, some missing?

Did I lose you in Eternity?

Have I known you before,

For your hand is my hand

And there is something in your smile

That feels familiar on my lips.

Are you the tingling in my fingertips

The reminder of something absent

Have you finally come home

And are we safe, we weary travelers?

Through time and space and misfits

Picking up our broken pieces

Sightless ancient beings

Raging in our chests

Calling out to each other

Across centuries.

And now I find you, so simply

There can be no question

I can love you as if you were me

As we weld together our empty spaces

Put the pieces back where they belong

My heart in you, your heart in me

And we beat in harmony.
