Joanna Zarkadas | In the time before time

Before the world was even new
Before time was ever measured
Before I dressed myself in bones and skin
I knew you

I knew the sweet gentleness
Of your being
The wisdom that dwells deep in your soul
I knew the many gifts you have to share

I knew the very best of you
And you knew me
We sang each other’s songs
And prayed each other’s prayers

We were one
Part of the great whole
That illuminates the world
With Love

Let us pledge to each other now
That we will not forget
This time before time
But if by chance
Our memories lapse
Let us promise
We will remind one another
With gentle grace
The beauty of who we are
And have always been
