The Truth about Tania
27 August 2006

Once it was so
as if you never were
Then again, we were both
always in that place

A place of piece, a place to pre-exist
as if there was more to tranquillity to claim
Those tantalising moments, in your heart
the way your words were few

But what of yesterday,
in its awesome embrace
Did God create the universe, or was that faith
Many years, many days and hours
yet in an instant comes but death

Once there was just me
but now there is you
Once there was not truth
only now that was true


“For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the
truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.”
Psalms 117: 2 KJV
