I AM BEFORE

And So as I sit here marinating in the echo's of all that was...... 
A deeper knowing arises
I am before
I am before, before
I am before this love
I am before this family
I am before this city
I am before this nationality
I am before - before time

I am the wind that touches your hair
I am the rain that touches your skin
I am the spur in the grass
I am the tree & I am the leaf that has fallen
I am the decay and yet I am the birth
I AM
And so with each breath,
it continues to Begin,

Again and Again and Again
