When We Were Twenty-Five

(PPC6 Prompt 3)

How you beamed
Coming up out of the water
Baptized with Our Lord
Sent out on a dubious world!

Weren't you twenty-five
With me not far behind
Shocks, my love, to our puny world
Dancing a new dance a new tune?

We immediately perceived the riddles
That perplexed us, intombed us,
Knocked us onto the polished floor
Were only that: Riddles, God's mystery

Weren't we twenty-five when
Our new life began
Tender from the wounds of
Tantrums, greed and avarice?

My memory is sharp
I've not lost a step
But time ghosts romanticized
Lost ships, lost loves, even history

But I remember twenty-five

Your moist eyes locked on mine
Overjoyed we danced knowing
Time was just eternity peeking
Into this world to find

Us-Twenty-five and dancing forever!
