She talks to me, I talk to her
We echo each other’s time
For comfort
Or we discuss patterns
That cohere – and entangle
In this wondrous web of tales
Glimpsed during twilight
She mirrors for me what was
I mirror for her what becomes
Yet in the silence between us
Flows a vibrant river
Pulsing with our true name …
