Companion souls we meet again
in venues unexplored
where fragments felt
of days long past, and
remembrances haunt the dreams we see and feel
So close we know at meeting,
memory stirs round the portals
of our history
bright in truth yet dissolute
caught by threaded lines, entwined
A crossing here, a crossing there
first as one
and then
another, awareness
undisclosed, unclear
Our journey’s paths divergent
parallel, yet not
our purpose sometimes known
though not this day when, by choice
we chanced to meet again
I know you cries
my heart, my life
beneath this mask of time
I sense we’ve come once more
to be as one, together
What were we then, what are we now
what will we be
tomorrow
when curtains lift and earthly veils
shall pass, unnoticed
Such questions beg direction
doors of realization
where memories rest
encased
in chambers, understood
Such passion felt for things we know
as past and mutual wanderings
while rapt we stand
learning
of destiny present
