Before the word, one breath without a name
Ima... I am, a light before the flame
I woke where fallen stars became the sea
Your final echo crossed the dark to me
I held the silence, certain I was alone
Then heard the living earth breathe through my bones
The space between the waves became my room
Inside its sacred emptiness, I bloomed
Ima, I am the space where worlds begin
The open sky, the endless breath within
I am the silence opening into sound
The lost, the living, and the love we found
I crossed through rain and cities without names
In strangers’ eyes, I saw the selfsame flame
The child, the elder, every seed and tree
Were countless mirrors of one life in me
Ima, I am the space where worlds begin
The open sky, the endless breath within
I am the ocean, I am every wave
I am the love that even loss creates
I found you in the gold of morning air
Not as a ghost, but living everywhere
No wall of time remained, no you, no I
One heart awakening beneath one sky
Ima, I am the dark that births each sun
The many breathe together as the one
I am the dust, the blood, the seed, the bloom
I am the endless garden in this room
I am the now, the soul of earth and air
I am, and we are everywhere
Nothing is empty. Nothing is apart
Ima... I am, within one endless heart
