A small piece of us

in the whirlwind of exacting time,

We found a small piece of us gently moving toward the light

I found you, a truly lovely soul

That only just came into a good sort of healing

The place we used to visit

Our secret place.

Your tenderness enclosed the suture of a deeply stagnating ravine

So closed off from oxygen and movement,

Now that is a free-flowing space of cathartic energy

Our love now has found that small space of us

And it is our own,

All our own

The past is no longer our weight

But our cloudy sky

Our secret place where you and I

Are finally one.
