Looking back
is never as easy as forging ahead.
Our eyes looking onward
our stride in forward motion,
the landscape maintaining our gaze.
You arose so suddenly
along my starlit horizon
oh – those many years ago.
I didn’t see you coming then,
until in an instant
the immediacy of you,
upon me so sudden and
face to face.
I didn’t see you disappear
until I looked back
over our fleeting time together
and noticed there was
never invented,
Space for the both of us
wherever I stand.
