When light broke into nothing
With a Bang that no ear heard
When Order sprang from Chaos
With the speaking of a Word
I AM here
When a single cell of life
Oozed from a primal sea
And evolved in adaptations
To all you know to be
I AM here
In the sunrise on the mountains
In the sunset on the sea
In the pain and joy of childbirth
In the prison with the free
I AM here
When nail or phallus pierces
The flesh of innocence
And the flame burns the children
In war’s senseless offence
I AM here
In your deepest loneliness
Of homelessness and cold
Between the silks of opulence
A voice of silence in your soul
I AM here
