Before you date me
Know how old I am
Before the depths were formed
Before a single spring
Carried water
Before the mountains
Were lowered into place
I was there
And what was I doing
Before the beginning?
Playing
Playing before him
Day after day
Delighting in the world
As it rose
And delighting
Of all things
In you
When he set the sky in place
I was beside him
The master worker
The daily delight
He drew the line
Where sea meets shore
And I rejoiced
At every wave
That kept the rule
By dancing against it
Mark this well
You who think seriousness
Is the proof of depth
The oldest thing in creation
After its Maker
Is play
Wisdom laid foundations
Laughing
Whoever builds
Without joy
Is younger than he thinks
And what was I doing
Before the beginning?
Playing
Playing before him
Day after day
Delighting in the world
As it rose
And delighting
Of all things
In you
