Day One

In principles the
powers that be
the universe conceive.

When the waters,
dark and deep
veiled earth, the virgin wilderness
breathed alhim
the breath of life
upon the waters’ face.

Sang alhim
for light to be
and light it came to be.

Saw alhim the light was mixed and parted them,
the light from dark,
calling light to shine in day
and dark to cloak the night.

Diversity was unity
on the day of one.
