Before Memory
Don Hynes
Before memory,
before violence,
before the damage
and the line that separates,
before ancient stones
and walls beneath the sea
there was awareness
and the love of our ancestors
spoken from the mountain;
before the wave,
before forgetting,
a thin ray of light
awakening the sleep
that is not sleep,
the fold of forgiveness,
the beginning
of all that will remain.
