Chronology

Somewhere between Fates 1
And Fates 3,
Our lives managed to intertwine.
Somewhere between beginning
And end,
Our spirits came together.
And somewhere between birth
And death,
Our hearts became conjoined.
A bond of strength forged itself

And we became “we”.

We talk ourselves deeper
Then try to reason our way out.
We hold each other tighter
Then try to relinquish our grip.
We laugh at secrets of our making,
Then forget
That the humor is still there.

We try to go back to “I”.

But to deny the “us” is to deny the sun
Will rise over the milky waters
Of today,
And bring clarity tomorrow.
To ignore the “us” is to appease our
Protests of “won’t” and "can’t”,
Limits we ourselves,
Set upon ourselves.
To deny the “us”
Is to deny ourselves of joy in the ‘morrow.

So here we stand at the crossroads,
Hand in hand, side by side, together.
Look at this,
Deeply,
And see if you don’t see the answer
Placed plainly before your eyes.

Here we stand at the crossroads,
Together.

beautiful Sandra
there is no one lovelier
