In the Beginning – v2



At the start, the first
there was nothing
(as hard as that is
to comprehend)

Creation in an instance
order found out of chaos
coming together, coalescing
waters, compartmentalizing
the dome, the seas,
the firm dry land

Life sprang forth
living things, innumerable
of the land,
the sea, the air

Dominion over all
given to us, day by day
in the garden, the cradle
the glorious creation
brought forth by God
out of the void
