Soul Mates

We first met in the beginning,

Before the universe began;

When there were no stars or planets,

And no creature known as man.

There was no good, no evil,

No down below, no up above;

Time and space were nonexistent,

There was nothing then but love.

Since then we've traveled widely,

We've been nobles, serfs and slaves;

Glorious saints, half-crazed sinners,

Trembling cowards, heroes brave.

We've been black and red and yellow,

Male and female, rich and poor;

All that was or is or will be -

Not one whit less or more.

We've watched the sunrise in Atlantis,

Loved in Egypt, fought in Rome;

We've sailed the seas of history,

Always together, not alone.

Through happiness and sorrow,

On one thing we can depend;

We were together in the beginning,

We'll be together in the end.
