David Walker Poet Rhyme

Before There Was This

Before There Was This
David J Walker

Where were we before
There was this

What have we to fear
But the abyss 
When our houses are fallow
And the echoes are 
Endlessly distant and we
Lament the defenses of 
A lifetime built
 
The nighttime wilts in
Its metaphor of death
At the surprise that faith in
The sunrise wasn’t misspent
 
Where were we before
There was this
