Soul Incarnate

(shiver) (blink) whiteness…light? form? the blinding? whiteness moves BACK eyes? form? (shiver) (blink) the atmosphere moves over her her consciousness is contained (shiver) (blink)…skin? sound ? startles her and she moves……. So awkward, so clumsy. SHE must coerce movement no bright quick flow (blink) Her world becomes the world of sound EVE….Yahweh’s sound… In the beginning there was the Word and the word was God. “You are the wholeness of all that is to be, Eve…. Here a companion made for you to guard and protect your seed……….You shall bloom a world Eve.” The arms? hands which had covered her ears? drop. The wet warm air stirs. Color bleeds into her, sun and sky and earth, so, they are named by Yahweh. (flinch) a large branch from what ..He, who is all, calls TREE moves…Eyes, arms, hands limbs appear, as she, but not she? The daylight sky crackles with the energy of Yahweh "ADAM….. " Yahweh’s sound. “Companion, seed bearer, protector you will be, Eve shall be mother and thee father for you are the wholeness of all that is to be… "SPEAK now!"......And Eve turned slowly to Adam and he to her…the WIND, as it was called, stirrs. “And so it shall be” said Eve to Adam “And so it shall be.” said Adam to Eve. Their eyes meet, their hands clasped. The primordial forest stirs and each new creature created by Yahweh comes forth and are named for Eve and Adam. The trees and fruit and insects and birds all that was made was named and it was good.

MY, this is SPLENDID, this re-creation of how it all began,how did I miss this one, Deb. I really enjoyed reading this one. YOu outdid yourself here. Didn't you do a funny one too? So which one is in Linda's contest then? Say,thanks for your comments on my blog. Yes, capitalizing in front is still acceptable. But it's amazing how many modern editors are starting to accept the more natural way of language. I took both ways as editor and also accepted free verse without capitalization at all. .
