Before There Was Matter

Before there was matter 
or time 
You must have been lonely 
Your consciousness   
 nearly echoing 
had there been 
canyons 
across 
the 
unborn 
universe 
Your thoughts 
so intricate 
no being 
could 
have  
known  
them  
Your form   
walking about an empty 
space
imagining  
color 
music 
words 
an 
opening 
thought 
bringing
forth 
these  
and  
more.. 
a  
daydream 
turned 
into a  
wish 
then 
an 
intent 
and  
your thoughts 
each strand 
stronger  
wider 
heavier 
than  
a million  
of  
the  
thickest 
branches 
each containing
a universe 
of  
it's own and
beings 
like  
you.. 
each with a life 
feeling real 
with it's own 
wishes 
intents 
joys 
heartbreaks 
and 
you  
know  
intimately 
each  
and  
every  
one 
following  
us 
riveted 
as an awe-inspired 
theatergoer 
with  
deep
most passionate 
love  
for  
all 
When one hurts 
or is frightened 
it  takes  
 all  of your 
might  
to  
stop 
yourself 
from freeing us 
from  
the pain 
for you  know 
this 
would end  
our 
world.. 
so  
each  
moment 
you live  
with  
us.. 
silently
lovingly 
your loneliness  
eased.
