Bridges of Life

A Selection of Poems

By James Bolgiano

Feeling Whole

I’ve been looking for you all my life. 

I didn’t know your name or what you looked like. 

Where you lived or from where you came. 

But when I saw you, I knew who you were. 

The missing part of me that I needed to feel whole. 

The one who gave life to my spirit, life to my soul. 

I journeyed long and far, looking for you. 

I found dead ends and paths that only ran one way. 

Traveled through storms and found the winds of change. 

But when our eyes met, I didn’t need a second glance. 

It’s nice when you find the mate of your soul.
