Something That Was Promised
something that was promised
in quiet moments when
night creeps on
toward its soft dawn bed
I wonder
why we agreed
so long ago
at this time to meet
who were we then before
blithe spirits silted
from our mortal coils
to lay in unknown churchyard
or battle field
what was our reincarnate pledge
as sudden as a lightning strike
some where beneath my ribs
you came to me all swirling words
and I knew you
