-whisper of heart-

Crimson bond

Hey homies

I've been super inspired by old legends and folks lately. People talk about life in such a beautiful way, so today I wanna share a little story with you in the form of a poem. There's this Chinese and Japanese legend called "𝓐𝓴𝓪𝓲 𝓲𝓽𝓸" "red string of fate."
It's an invisible red thread that connects people who are destined to be together. The string can stretch, twist, or bend, but it can never break. It's basically the same idea as soulmates - no matter what happens, they'll always find each other.

In the tapestry of twilight's glow,
Two souls were woven, ebb and flow,
With threads invisible, they danced through time,
In laughter's embrace, their spirits did climb.

Through sun-drenched days and whispered nights,
Each moment crafted, their hearts took flight,
The world stood still when their gazes met,
Two bodies entwined, with no hint of regret.

But fate, a thief, with a cruel design,
Revealed a path where shadows entwine,
A fleeting breath, a whisper of fate,
One soul departed, leaving love to wait.

"Promise me this," in a fragile sigh,
"In a second life, love, I'll find you nearby."
With tethered hopes and a heart full of light,
He vowed to the stars, through the darkness of night.

Years passed like clouds, drifting in the blue,
He counted the seconds, the moments, the clues,
Each heartbeat a measure of love's steadfast flame,
An echo of laughter, a sweet, whispered name.

In silence he waited, through storms and despair,
With visions of her in the cool evening air,
A flicker, a shimmer, in dreams that would bind,
One spirit, one heartbeat, in the dance of the blind.

His body grew weary, but his spirit stood tall,
Bound by a promise, he lived for it all,
And so at the edge where the heavens alight,
He whispered her name, into the vast night.

Then one final breath, like a leaf in the breeze,
He joined her in waiting, with heart at ease,
For love knows no ending, it's a cycle unbroken,
Through lifetimes they wander, on invisible tokens.

Together at last, in realms yet untold,
With threads ever vast, and memories bold,
In the tapestry shining, where souls always roam,
Two bodies, one soul, forever at home.......
