The day you were born
It would never be the same
as it ever was.
This day, at that time
started this life
from lives past-
Passed through you to you
creating something
from some things that were before
you arrived as you.
This time and time again
many things came first
many more things will come to pass
none have counted you
in years
-as the last
-pushing through, pulling you-
The only time you
were you,
we met
through others
matters were made
any day now we will change
-back-
into strangers, fate carried vessels
pulling our chords,
the other way.
