The Source Spoke

The source spoke At the sound of his voice Light came out of darkness Formlessness took shape and voidity made meaning Then appeared the sun Bringing life and peace and hope Giving assurance that life will be sustained And at dusk the moon rose Suggesting rest to the body And prepares the mind for tomorrow One day after another life made sense Rivers sprang up Grasses grew Shrubs and trees and desert plants All broke through the ground and took their places One animal strode across, and another followed In the droves they came and made the vegetation lively Yet one thing remained Joy was stayed because man was yet to be revealed Then at the fullness of time he came To live in bliss As all things are ready for the appearing The source has started. He spoke and brought light His word brought orderliness in chaos He held the boundaries of the oceans Suspended the clouds on nothingness Kept the cattle on the mountains And crude in the swamps And will always stand true When man’s gaze is stayed on Him
