I AM

Before florescent formations ever
Fomented the foundations of your firmament.
That is,
Before the stars in your sky ever entered existence.
Before the light knew what bright meant.
Before the sky had a clue where up went.
Before either were ever invented:
I Am.

Before terrestrial perennials
Terraced your planets territorial terrain.
That is,
Before the plants in your ground were ever ordained.
Before roots were ever arranged.
Before fruit had a taste.
Before either had a name:
I Am.

Before the ocean had a bowl.
Before the surf discovered its roll.
Before the grave was made Sheol.
Before man had a soul:
I Am.

Before Eden was installed.
Before the Garden serpent crawled.
Before the tree, before the fall:
I Am.

For I am truth before there ever could be false.
I am perfection before there ever could be faults.
I am by all, In all, through all, All…
