A Tale of Creation Pt 1

Part One 1. In the beginning,'ere time was born was the infinite value of God, without form. There was nothing of substance, of sight, or of sound but in silence, the will of God was bound with one purpose; to be himself revealed as love, given unconditionally. 2. " ~I Am~ I Will~ I will not~ be~ alone~ for all~ eternity~" "~Therefore~ there needs~ must also be~ another~ to love~ who will~ love me~" "One such~ as I~of spirit~ and mind. to compose~ conduct~ and encompass life" 3. And the firstborn of all creation awoke beside his holy father, and host, with an explosion; by command of a word first uttered, and through which, the explosion was heard by the first one begotten; through and for him unfurled all creation to master, for he would be Lord. 4. Set apart from within his majestic father, he came to be Wisdom, Glory, and Power of God, embodied in spirit and truth; the first witness of all Mighty God would produce. 5.The sudden expanse of substance inundated the abyssal void; and time was created to divide the abyss from that which would come; and the advent of life and death was begun. 6. All matter, the Word thus began to relate in its fashion; that all things combined, separate by their essence. And the elemental seeds went forth in due order, of accord with life's need of resources. 7. And so, the universe was formed. Reality, bearing, and purpose, adorned with life. A genesis, a dawn, when the Lord God spoke, in the morning of creation.

Bold approach, and sanguine development - its not easy at all to take command of such a classic and monumental motif my friend - I like how you attribute struggle to God's oneness - J.A.B. %

thanks J. that poem took ten years to perfect, and has undergone many revisions. Many hours, days weeks, months, spent thinking, waiting, and wondering what certain parts should be. It is my life's work, and I love it.
