In the Beginning a Family History

in the beginning
                    origins
                    sources
this world
the nations
His people
      a family story
an overture
of a nations forbears

space&time
          sequenced
of dark&light
           ordinance
of
sun&moon

an apparent meaningless
becomes
  an expressed will
as God
          called
distinct spatial
realities
appeared

sky water
       &habitats
in a firm
            earth
fertility
found a stage
human life
         the climax

a divine essence
                  together&
                          comparable
in an outward form
        spiritual
           moral
            rational
dominion
   over all
            until 
                      sin
temptation
emotion
&will surrendered
at
   the
        Fall
