The Poetry of Beginning

Words—

strong words—

calling worlds

out of nothing.

•

Words—

hopeful words—

breathing light

into darkness.

•

Words—

skillful words—

carving skies

out of the water.

•

Words—

artistic words—

sketching land

and all her foliage.

•

Words—

adorning words—

racing space-ward,

hanging lanterns.

•

Words—

accomplished words—

birds in flight,

and fish that swim.

•

Words—

imaginative words—

animals of all kinds,

grazing on land.

•

Words—

sacred words—

“Let us make man in our image,”

male and female.

•

Words—

divine words—

satisfied with His art:

“Very good.”
