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
