Have you found your soul mate? Student Emma Arthurs dedicates this poem to her best friend, soul mate and all the growth and healing the bond promotes.
I once found sunlight harsh. This scorched and
barren land stayed bathed in shadow. This stayed,
beneath. Yet gardens bloom and raise their faces to meet
the dawn and I did not know what you had
planted.
This golden hour,
when all is soft and quiet has last
five years. My lifetime.
And should these gentle rays sink below the horizon –
How little, for me to know
this is no darkness closing in.
I’ll shift my gaze, and thank the stars
