The Ancient Art of Reminiscence

When did Sapiens begin to mark anniversaries, remember back to older times, and mark them? When did the rhythms of new moon and full moon and new moon again bring us to taste anew the delicious moments,  to relive sad times and say farewell all over again to loves who have died? When did deja vu begin?

How our life is measured out in moons,
The many moons ago
Of celebration pies,
Of wedding pies, and
Pies no longer possible.
The waxings and the wanings
And the flickerings out,
Recalled when the moon rhythm
Comes around again,
Ancient stirrings of remembered moonpattern,
Bringing us right there
To mooniversaries in time.
