In the Beginning – v4

At the start, the first

before the Creation

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

by His voice, His hands

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

called forth by God

out of the void
