Youthful Amnesia
We were both so young
that night
when we sat on your dock
watching the sunset
and talking
about the beauty of it all.
We were so close
as we stared at the clouds
their enormity
overwhelming us
making us realize
how really tiny
we were,
making our problems seem trivial
compared to those
of the sky.
We watched in awe
as birds swam
through the liquid sky
seeming to never tire
seeming to be able to float
forever
peacefully challenging the earth.
And we looked at each other
making love
with our tears
completely happy
becoming one.
We were both so young
that night
but somewhere
along the way
the night faded
and became morning
and we awoke
as Two.
Maybe we thought it
all a dream
mere fantasy
or maybe
it never really happened
just delusions
of an infantile mind.
But the sky remains
as beautiful
and the birds
still challenge the earth-
It must have been real. . .
Maybe
we just
forgot!
