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
