a soup of nothingness - v2

the earth before God spoke light

without form, void

a soup of nothingness

before the first day

an inky blackness

an emptiness without end

before the spark, creation

before the voice of God

nothingness, void

an inky blackness

the earth without form

no beginning, no end

only the motion of God’s Spirit

over the waters like a bird

over an endless sea

a bottomless emptiness

devoid of dimensions

abject nothingness

the earth without end

a voice would pierce the dark

God spoke light

all coming into view

day from the night
