Re-turn-ing

In a far off ancient time

When the universe ran slow

I was yours and you were mine

And how were we to know

That soon the years would pass like hours

Upon a far forgotten shore

Each one foaming upon each

Continuous - forever more

And together we will yearn

That future eon when we may

As if in an ancient time

When the cosmos slowly span

Life and love as one entwine

As it was when we began
