once before
you almost knew –
I could see it in your eyes
familiar as the sunlight
to your face
warmest realization
of places come and gone
miles from here –
another time
and space

immortal truths
to resurrect –
mere moments more or less
tho somewhere now –
we weave in destiny
searching through the rubble
for pieces almost gone
– threads are pulled
across and back
for me

almost once
and even now –
I wonder just how close
the stars were realigning
to our will
e’er tides be turned
that old blue moon
watching yet the same
ages passed –
forever
standing still

. . .
