That\'s When I Wrote

             That’s When I Wrote             

 

I wrote before red birds could sing

Before lions knew of their courage

When constellations had no name

 

I wrote before the moon could shine

Before the ocean knew there was a sea

When words offered no meaning

 

I wrote before time was tender

Before crisp nights sang themselves to sleep

When rivers flowed without intention

 

I wrote before I knew I was me

Before curiosity came to call

When the sky was not yet sugar candy bliss

 

That’s when I wrote
