A dance to help remember

@ Uootem (2001)

As our conversation continues at this dawning,
            the dance of remembering old songs of heart rhythms
                      with all the pirouetting memories of consequence
                                          that show how frequent the visits have been.

I am divided under star-filled skies
            that have twinkled with your words.... your beauty
                      under the slight tactics that have revealed themselves
                                          into what we once saw spill onto the ancient temple floor.

I am divided under a full-moon night
            that is inflamed with your words... an ancient fire
                      under the slight tactics that have revealed themselves
                                          into what we once saw enacted in sacred ground.

I am divided on a mountain top peak
            that is ascended with your words... a mystical icon shared
                      under the slight tactics that have revealed themselves
                                          into what we once vowed in a place near heaven.

Our conversation becomes a dance to help us remember
          the "youandi" we once were... and still are
                    under the slight tactics that have renewed themselves
                                          into what we have always recognized between us.
