I visited in her dreams last night
lighting a flame of wonder
raising questions so she will ponder
who and what I am
In her waking hours I play
amongst the clouds leaving
smoky trails with messages of love
trying to spark her interest
in the setting sun she can see
the flicker of my wings
and feel my warming breath
melding with the twilight
at that moment I send a message
with all the power I have until
the connection links
she hears me now
she knows I’m here to guide her
to find inner strength
to leave fear behind
to break earthly bonds
on our own we’re only half
of what soulmates should be
we are still worlds apart but
one day soon she’ll learn
to trust, to risk and fly away with me
Note: Gemella is a dragon searching for her rider.
Together they will be Anima Gemella (soulmate)
