past lives

from a time i've come
spontaneous life
a future already told
from the depths in the night
a lamp with no light
a left with no right
squaring the circle
as angles do fight
from a place i've been
a last breath did fall
to cover the earth
become life to all
a rock from the dirt
water from the sky
the measure of worth
is long drawing nigh
from a path that was drawn
immortal steps did take
the labor of the Sun
was honed in the wake
a wave with no face
a home of no place
a battle was won
from a lost time i've come
