It’s not the point or purpose
Making yourself in the image of
Something temporal
Perfect lives
In the ragged hem
Not the seamstress who knows by default
The straight line
We are
Twice turned around the earth
From that first time
I beheld you then
As I saw my own reflection
And all that was lost within me
Fell away as debris
A shining soul
So often tormented by the world’s love
Of tarnish
Easily we fell again and again
Against sharp corners and places unfit
Only in the surround of one another
A measure of peace
Never something easy to describe
To others it may appear
Dull and ordinary
Not worth adjective
And as I hold you near me in blackening night
Feeling age settle like freed dust
The ache of what could have been and what was not
Has less power in this soft reverie
Where consolidation is a tired but gentle thought
So different from that tight umbelical youth
Lost in the still of an eternal motion
If I could
Reach back
Change or alter
Our trajectory
I may have asked
The stars to divine
An altered course
Only to bring us closer
Till nothing
Not even the barrier of our separate being
Could thwart the hope
We are all and one
Spinning in silver threads
Through time
And memory
As lights catch
Like glass
On still water
As love settled and stayed
Forever
Sometimes, a blessing
Sometimes, seeming a curse
This not knowing how or why
To cease loving
To fall out of love
No matter the cause of parting
Nor the manner of separation
Love remembered
Is love renewed
It does not die
There is the blessing
