AND Wade in the Water: Live | by The Spirituals (Live)
----------------------------------------------------
Listen to poem:
It all began with the singularity,
the one and only one,
with one big bang it exploded,
velocity beat gravity,
for once this time,
matter expanded out,
it still does in time immortal,
debris and gas coalesced,
pulled back in
in gravity's relentless tug,
light sprang up from
gigantic balls of gas
squeezed so tight
they spewed and spurted
energy that radiated out
in heat and beams of light
that breathed the spirit in our souls.
without light
there's no sparkle, nor glint
from dust to dust
from a whole black ball,
a singularity,
and back again,
to a black hole light-less,
it's light
that's in the soul spiritual.
