a soup of nothingness - v3

swirling before God spoke light

without form, void

soup of nothingness

before the first day

inky blackness

emptiness without end

before the spark, creation

before the voice of God

nothingness, void

inky blackness

chaos, without form

no beginning, no end

only the motion of God’s Spirit

over waters like a bird

over an endless sea

bottomless emptiness

devoid of dimensions

abject nothingness

the world without end

a voice would pierce the dark

God spoke light

all coming into view

day from the night
