Oh, ok

Only just now looking back on that road it all seems to make sense.

In the heat of the moment, in the middle of that time it was all so chaotic, so intense and in my face.

Yet here up on top of this still calm mountain it causes me to not blink when thinking of such current simplicity.

I was in that place a location with no name, no calendar to mark the time as it passed, drifted on top of cool deep water.

And at present I sense and feel even a head turning toward the clear shadows and I realize it is me seeking an answer.

My self possession only at this time in this place asking to be recognized, demanding it, atlast.

A request made to be taught a skill that will win the prize, bestow the first place ribbon upon my chest.

And then at last all at once in a flash you are here next to me, not touching me.

You also looking out into that time, that past place and you stand motionless so to not initiate disturbance.

So we are together yet all the same we are just alone, separate and touching only when bumping into one another.
