Before now



Before now

Where was I before?

Before?

Yes, before now. Before here.

You mean before birth?

Yes, before birth.

Before birth you were not here.

How do you know?

I don't.

So you make an assumption?

I did. But so do you.

I do? How so?

You pose the question.

    Nice surprise and closure wrapped up in the story of the poem.

    Dianne thanks, the double meaning in the poem title reveals the conundrum. Keep smiling!

    Questions are preferable to certainties.

    Indeed it is so; for where would we be without the questions?

    If we had no questions would there still be answers?

    That is quite profound because if we had no questions, only answers, that would tell us ... what?
