At the start, the first
there was nothing
a dark void
God’s breath on the waters
(a concept difficult to
comprehend)
Creation in an instance
order found out of chaos
coming together, coalescing
waters, compartmentalizing
the dome, the seas, the firm
land
Life sprang forth
from nothing,
God spoke light,
living things, of the land,
the sea, the air
Dominion over all
given to us, day by day
in the garden, the cradle
the glorious creation
out of the void
