Where have you been
All this time
Before the one became two
Before the shield
Before the chalice
Before the spiral
And the raw beauty
Of communion
Before we were lost
In our own becoming
I am you are we
I can only answer your question
With a new burning away
And new steps toward
What will become of us
She said I need to know, now
Forgetting that the need to know is a piece of the knowing
Losing the answer in the question
Disappearing into the future now
Where the cycles repeat
The wind blows
We rise and fall
Blind to the majesty of being
Haunted by the memories of others
Her need forged to diamond
Unseen, waiting
The North Star
Calling us home.
