Soulmates-Anamcara

Mother to Daughter

I am 51
and you a mere 16.
I see in you myself
now.

Not when I was 16.
My brain,
soul
was dead.
No.
asleep
incubating . . .
waiting for
the Toad and Ant.

The Song
to water me and make me grow
and feel
and create
and be
unafraid.
alive
quickening.

Daughter to Mother

I am 16.
You are 51 in years.

My soul is old
and wise
filled with your experiences
while I slept.

The Frogge and Byrd
were birthed in me.

I was born full grown
in my spirit.
I remember everything!
Unlike you
who recall only dreams.

You flowered
at 31.
I blossomed
before birth.

You and I are
soul mates.
