Before
by A. Paige White Hes singing you awake
There are songs in the night
Candle songs,
Songs of love
There is a man
Standing at the door of your dreams
Singing you songs in the night
Songs of love
Songs of soon coming light
Candle songs
There are events in your life
Events of the night
Singing you songs in the night
Songs of candles bright
Songs of love
There is a man
Standing at the door of your dreams
Singing you songs in the night
Songs of love
He sings to me
He sings over me
He told me just to tell
Hes waiting to appear
For before your eyes
He saw your eyes
His reflection stands waiting to appear
Before your eyes
For he was before
For before your eyes
Everyone he sends to read this word
Your eyes he saw, your words he heard
Because He was before
Before your eyes were
He is before
He is above all things
Before your eyes
Before you became aware
Of B4 in some eye catching way
He is before you.
And He waits with singing
Primitive the beat, primitive the chant
Like a heartbeat
We dance to candlelight
He is before
Before all things
He set my feet tapping
Thighs stomping in a mighty war song
Warriors! Hear the warriors call!
He is before you.
Hes always been
Before you.
Now you will see
What youve never before seen.
He comes now to the Fore
For he is before
His being has always been
Before.
He is the fore
In before.

Author's Note: ...Fore anyone looking for their tardy petard retardant...
To be "hoist by [or with] your own petard" is to be blown up by your own bomb. A petard was a medieval engine of war consisting originally of a bell-shaped metal container filled with explosives. It was used to blow in a door or a gate or breach a wall. Premature explosion was an ever-present danger. In other words, you could be hoist by your own petard. But what is also interesting is the derivation of the word "petard". It comes from the French word peter, meaning to break wind.
