Reunion

There is a reunion happening somewhere

Through every moment we can be there

And melt into its waters, whether we’re sweet or bitter

When we become one, even darkness will glitter

This reunion has no defined anniversary

When it happens, it’s not cursory

We don’t return, with the same longing

When we’re welcomed into permanence and belonging

It’s not a reunion with an old thought

It’s sealed into the past before it can rot

Time aids our separation through forgetfulness

We struggle to hold on, with the rope of remembrance

A river sheds its name and power before the sea will take its water

It is the only way it can unite with depths that matter

We’re late for the reunion, someone’s waiting

It is existence, our delay allows it to continue creating
