And That Was When Part 7

And That Was When Part 7

Then the new ones set out on the sea,
Learning their separate lessons 
The sphere of your companions
Contracted, as one by one
They waded into the approaching shore
Until at last all that was left
Were the closest Loves,
Or perhaps you were even alone.

And that was when
Day by Day
The Light grew brighter,
Colder.
Things you knew
Long before speech
Fell back into place.
