And Then We Knew
Eons of unspoken dialogue
spun unto a shimmering silvery thread
a geometric genre of sounds
hidden feelings
powerful
just below the horizon
of stillness
both undefended souls
and then we knew
The repartee disclosed the pages
a reverberation of expectancy
alive with possibilities
ideas
unhindered play
sensual whispers
as time ceased
distant from its
recognition of the familiar
and as we wandered inward
we knew
We knew then
that we knew
and now emboldened
within the prism
of a memory
a disquieted mind
an erroneous hope
that the passion
of what was
was certain
and alive
a creation beyond us
And as the days become,
our certainty becomes
uncertain
as our glee and
our passion
was what we knew then
what we knew then
