Soulmates

Originally written on Feb 21, 2007 with some minor changes before posting.

She lies back, letting the emerald blades embrace her.
She has eyes only for the night sky,
     -that velvet blanket sprinkled with diamonds.
The vast expanse makes her feel tiny,
     -but somehow not insignificant.
She knows that somewhere out there, her soulmate exists.

He lies back, the rough pavement at his back.
His gaze cannot be turned from the night sky,
     -the silver smile of the moon beaming down upon the world.
The darkest blue that holds so many of his deepest secrets,
     -but never betrays a one.
He knows that somewhere out there, his soulmate exists.
