You are set apart from me
It's true I was removed from you
Yet I'm reminded to remember you
To remember you encompass me
With infinite concentricity
In layers deep, in layers wide
In a kaleidophone of singing light
Beneath our feet our children sleep
Centermost in the realm of dreams
Sweethearts known that long ago
Time was a weapon of time
The wise can show that long ago is now
I see you were removed from me
I see my sight relayed from you
You must return before you leave
Hand in hand we precisely greet
Where the lintel and the threshold meet
No-one is home if someone is here
In a shallow pool a body takes shape
Its brain grows larger than the world
The cosmic axis for its throne
The children stir - the dream recedes
They are centermost in their waking state
The central point of the triumphal age
Age devours the prior age
Like rival birds of parallel power
Engulfing one and then the other
The great gospel makes it so
Sweethearts know that long ago
Time is a weapon of time
The wise can show that long ago is now
Soon I will have passed through it
Through layers of depth wider than light
In a shallow stream a body dissolves
Its animal song moves it along
Seeking its level it creeps toward the dawn
As the dawn must welcome the dawn
Sweethearts know that long ago
Time is/was a weapon of time
The wise can show that long ago is now
