They spoke across a divide
Wide as eternity
Two dim lights
On distant shores
Obscured by the haze
Of time

But for their light
They’d have lost each other
Utterly

Such is the nature of binaries
Each caught in the gravity
Of the other

Their light grew
As they consumed time 
With memories
And old promises
Spoken and unspoken
Still to be kept

The haze dispersed
The divide reduced
To a vision
A touch
An embrace
