Somehow We Knew

Silver star
descending
in a sea of darkness
gradually disappearing

And here we stand
I remember when we first met
and how your eyes
reflected tiny suns

My heart beat like all the drums
drummed within our tribe
for centuries
You smiled at me and I at you

Somehow we knew
that we would love for many moons
Each night
we watch the sun descend

behind the mountains
And when the moon
Illumined
with her lover's light appears

we remember
the happiness the sorrow
the love
the tears

As we sit around the fire
listening to the silence
two tiny moons
I see reflected in your eyes...
