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
