I remember nothing from before

I remember nothing from before

What I know

I learned

Was told

But never experienced

Did any of it really happen

It is a matter of trust

More than this

It is an affirmation

Of life before life

As with death

It is a matter of acceptance

Life will go on

As far as I know

Or perhaps it will not

I will take it on trust

It is what I believe

Have heard

Have learned

From listening to whispers

Which might mean nothing

But so many people

Hold fast

To the belief

We are one

It is a universal

A collective decision

To create meaning

An archetype

Of unconscious process

To allay fears

Why worry

When we, again will meet,

In the circularity

All things

Will come to pass this way again

Why then

When all is all

Do I still not remember

What happened

Before.
