Creation

by Michaelw1two

 blinding void,
 unlearned mind;
 weary empty depths,
 the cry, what time wants;
 in that night, after fending off,
 the symbolic cords of livings order;
 those eons, of fingers and hands prying,
 giving innocence, to minds and heart’s bleat;
 life like paper, upon such is penned whose words,
 discarded there as waste, thrown down into life’s fire;
 stoked coals, becoming ember red, resisting death,
 mixing the bellows powered wind, smoldering;
 yesterday’s sins into tomorrow's forever’s,
 this moments offers, are hammered;
 preciously, for then this peened,
 creation, sorely cries out;
 as life arises renewed,
 and the darkness;
 seeks the light.
