You and I, we move through time,
barely taking note of the days and nights that we pass
like the phantom lights of cars travelling in an opposite direction
on a long, desolate highway.
Everything revolves and is stationary, a strange tapestry of time.
I can see everything all at once
You and I, we come together like separate disconnected verses
locked in a strange symmetry of an inexplicable rhyme.
The moon slows down, and the darkness becomes eternal.
The world fades away.
You and I, we look deep into our eyes and grieve
for the magic that is now lost.
Yet we remain intertwined in this longest of nights,
in each other’s embrace
as we slowly fade away
from the consciousness of history and the meaning of time.

Nice...Eliot with a pinch of Dylan Thomas and Paul Simon = nice!
Don't mean to trespass on sacred poet-territory, but I felt it would sound better as "You and I, WE come together...", "You and I, WE look deep..." etc, like the first time. Or is it intentional? Please forgive my insolence, O Poet.
By the way, you missed "You and I, we'll be dancin' on high"!
One poem a month, hmm, you've struck the right tempo I think.
Finally your approval! :D And indeed, a very keen observation, yes it does make the poem sound better. In fact I am changing it now.
