In Another Lifetime by Edyth Grace
In Another Lifetime
Edyth Grace
To an old friend, wherever you are.......
In another lifetime,
Where the skies are plastered
With soft pinks and blues
and golden hues
And the grass, softer than
your skin I once caressed.
In another lifetime,
where the air hums the lyrics
of the song, we would've remembered
And your fingers would've fit mine
like the stars aligning
in some perfect, forgotten sky.
In another lifetime,
the clocks would slow their hands,
giving us endless moments—
no rush, no regret,
just the gentle unfolding
of a story written in your eyes.
In another lifetime,
we would've danced barefoot in the rain
without fear of the lightning—
or the goodbye.
And maybe, just maybe,
your heart would ache
exactly the same way
mine still does.
In another lifetime,
where dreams remember
what reality forgets—
I’ll find you.
And maybe one day,
we’ll stay.

Write After with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. If you want to join: Listen to a poem from the month of April on One Poem Only, then write your own in response. I will pick one for each day to read in June for a special series: One Poem After 🍎🍏 Submissions close May 15.
