Notes About The Poem
" CREATION " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©
Once Upon a Time Vii
" This is Zeus*- the life-giving God- speaking
come, come all you blind forces
come out of chaos
Let us bring order, so out of this anarchy, a cosmos
to be born,
a universe, where uniformity will reign and all will obey
my Logos
To achieve this, though, you all have to learn how to dance,
to dance the dance of peaceful coexistence,
but first, a partner for you I shall find.
Now all you pay attention!
Here is the list that I for you have prepared:
Accord dances with discord
unity with division
love with hate
joy with sorrow
hope with despair
pleasure with suffering
harmony with strife
mind with matter
hot with cold
humid with arid
hard with soft...
.............
And the temporal with the eternal...
Be careful now
for each step you take, your partner will take one
keep in mind that you don't dance alone
Respect your dancing partner, and he will respect you,
what we try to achieve here is harmony
only then this wondrous choreography of
creation will be successful
There you are!
Slowly, dance back and forth, listening to
this wondrous symphony of life."
Thus spoke Zeus and managed to unite the opposites
which resulted in the world we live in!

* Greek Mythology tells us that when Zeus decided to create the world
turned himself to Eros ( God of love) to be able to unite the
opposite forces that existed within the Chaos to give birth to a harmonious Cosmos!
