As always, it's for you, the members of the Neytiri clan. I hope you enjoy it. It’s been Neytiri-fied (yes, that is a word… now) for your reading pleasure.


I Knew You, Neytiri

When I was but a fetus
Waiting
To once again taste the breath of life,
No thought, thought I—
Yet even then,
With an awareness I cannot comprehend,
I knew you….

A warrior of old,
I fought the good fight.
And when the battle was ended
And the enemy vanquished,
My thoughts turned homeward
To my lady, my life—
For even then,
Amid the turmoil and strife,
I knew you….

A turquoise sky
In a world during it’s youth
Was the coverlet we shared,
As we dreamed soft dreams
Under autumn skies,
And danced in the sun
In some primitive guise.
Oh, I knew you….

On a distant world,
In a forgotten time—
You and I gazed at two silvery moons
As we walked on a halcyon beach,
Hand in hand,
And spoke of our love on the cool, blue sand.
Yes, I knew you…

When time was not,
And the universe but a dream—
My soul touched yours
And life began.
The stars were born out of our love’s fire
And eternity echoed our joy and desire.
For even then, Neytiri…
Even then, my fiercely beautiful love—
I knew you….
