THE BREATH OF LIFE

Out of the darkness, out of the void…
A soft Breath and then a roaring wind
The darkness explodes into a burst of light
Shining brightly with a fervent fire
As the single light gleams in the darkness…
More lights fill the heavens, endless diamonds on a field of velvet
The Breath blows across the endless expanse of sky once more…
Carrying with it the pulse of life that expands and grows
It stirs in the dark and light…
Water and land begin to take shape in the void of space…
Life blooms and seeds sprout…
First slowly and hesitantly, then with growing passion
The earth begins to spin through the expanse…
As it fills with the cacophony of life
Out of the dust of the earth…
An unlikely figure begins to form
It lies there, lifeless and empty…
Until once more comes the Breath… the Breath of Life
