Twin Soul Inspirations - Poetry, Music, and Literature


It's been said that some of our greatest works in literature, poetry and music have been inspired by the love and idea of twin soul love.  Michael used to read the poetry of a very famous poet named Rabindranath Tagore.  Tagore was a writer in modern Indian literature, Bengali poet, novelist, educator, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He was awarded the knighthood in 1915, but he surrendered it in 1919 as a protest against the Massacre of Amritsar, where British troops killed some 400 Indian demonstrators protesting colonial laws. Tagore maintained a reputation of a mystic and we are again afforded the opportunity to know some of the greatest men in history acting on our behalf in protests and writing on our behalf the truth of our very souls:

Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore


I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…

In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age-old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same 
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours – 
And the songs of every poet past and forever.
