The Creation
1. The beginning- unknown,
As is the end.
The in-between are the questions
Darkness and oceans dwelled
Before the earth had form.
The spirit Lord God moved
On the face of the waters and spoke;
Darkness shall not exist with light
Therefore, it shall become so that
A firmament separates the
Light from the darkness.
Behold, the waters will become still
And divide into water and dust.
The dust will rise
And it shall dwell as earth.
From Earth’s breast, seed gives itself
A life of vegetation.
A life thirsting for itself.
I give thee the brightest light
In the sun and galaxy to light the way
To calm, I give thee a moon,
Hovering above all who seek their way.
Arise now, all life, arrive in great lots
From the sea’s belly, like the great whale
And high in the heavens shall hold
Aloft the winged fowl.
Goodness shone its brilliance
The spirit speaks; Gain in likeness
And yield one after the other with blessings.
The seas filled in profusion and the
Winged creatures soared the heavens.
Arisen from the earth , born of the like
Large animals and small answered the
Spirit’s command to exist, even the smallest
Living creature that crawled on its belly.
In likeness of the spirit, man and woman
Appeared out of the spoken will and
Were given the command over all
Living things, so charged to discipline
All that moved in the seas, air, and earth.
Observe the land that bears the essence
From trees of sustenance given you
And upon the earth, the herb of life
For the fowl, beasts and life that roams.
2. Accordingly, the creation completed
By the spirit Lord God and so sanctified
Therefore the beginning, the new epoch
Filled the void and all was good.
