we are the memory
of that place without measure
that filled all space
that never was and ever will be
that place existing as the perfect note
yet making no sound
holding all colors inside a light
that was nothing but darkness
we are the memory of a breath
that could not be but was
a breath that swelled to bubble
that burst and then collapsed
we are the memory
gestated in days that lasted eons
as the universe womb birthed heat light
rock ice mineral song us
we are the impossible made flesh
creating infinite possibilities of hope
or endless chasms of despair
inside the prayers which we have become
