The Remembrance Began, by Jeannie E. Roberts

Dreamcatcher, by Jeannie E. Roberts (USA) 1994

The Remembrance Began 

with reflection 
two mirrors 
the orbit of analogy 
where motion outlined 
the kaleidoscope of us. 

Energy amplified our course 
leapt into the vortex of shape 
the geometry of rapport. 

As we danced across our galaxy 
bluestem grass zigzagged 
between fields of colour 
flourished 
near clusters of bottle gentian 
and the emerald polish of summer. 
The sense of expanse 
opened our hearts 
as spontaneity enveloped our universe. 

Let’s rid ourselves of restraint 
hold hands in the equation of ease 
dive into the circle of abundance 
giggle 
in our sixty-something 
birthday suits.
