Before Sheva | A Poem by Roli Edema

Those symbol measures

Have always had a meaning

But now they're forming a significance

You'll probably never quite understand

Seven eight nine

Before long, your footprints are next to mine

Paving the way to an apparent future

Look and behold, even the time has been told

What makes a theory a fact?

Meticulous testing, cause not correlation

Your presence is rich, no anomalies

Scientifically satisfactorily

Before Sheva I raised the call

Before Sheva dusk came to dawn

Life isn’t as complex as I thought it was

Celine said it's inevitable

We love those friends

Who are proud to be our friends

When all is stripped away

It’s not a popularity game

Some things are cemented eternally

Too good to be true wasn't true

How sweet is theory

That has proven to be a fact

Sheva means seven

A meaning beyond multitudes

Before Sheva I lifted my eyes

Before Sheva my eyes lifted my heart
