I had my eyes closed when I saw it, infinite space

darkness so complete in the distance, we were points of light

and we were spinning together, the same orbit, the same galaxy.

Time was just beginning to burst into being

which means it had not existed until we dreamed it so. But we did.

We do not now exist, not together anyway. It is good, better

that way, We were better at the beginning of time

than we could ever be so many billions of light years

along the path, and the tears and laughter we’ve traversed since then.

If I knew you then I will know you again. I can only hope

there will be joy between us when we meet at some other cross section of Time,

deep in darkness, pinpricks of light dancing into eternity.
