A New Tapestry

I remember you,
As ice remembers water,
In the instant before
It freezes--this is destiny
Unraveled, respun, and set
To a new tapestry--but
Who knows this picture now?
I remember you.

I remember me,
As glass remembers sand,
In the instant before
It fuses--this is fate
Overthrown, exchanged, and tossed
To into the stars--but
Who knows these constellations now?
I remember me.

I remember us,
As memory remembers time,
In the instant before
It changes--this is life
Grown wild, unexpected, and lived
To the fullest--but
Who knows the extent of these days?
I remember us.
