We went there together, where we imagined, and went on,
and we parted company beyond the Pleiades somewhere
and I saw a far star faintly and something said to me That is home.
I was amazed and wanted to go there and I went, pulled by light,
and I thought That is where I started
and headed back
and I reached the sun and then the earth
and we took up again, with new names,
and journeyed out again.
