In the Beginning GOD

In the beginning,
        the beginning of trees,
             the beginning of footsteps,
                 the beginning of doors with hinges,
                     the beginning of streetlights and sidewalks and benches,
                         the beginning of eyebrows and lids and lashes,
                             the beginning of breathing, in and out,
                                 the beginning of silence,
                                     the beginning of song,

In the beginning,
                            before the wheel,
                            before the invention of everything in general,
                            before blood and sweat and tears and laughter,
                            before this show got started with a creaking and grinding roar
                                                                                                 and never stopped,
                                 

In the beginning

GOD



you who hummed the world into being

what were you doing for forever

what was the theme of eternity's overture

sing us a song from before the cradle

if we can hear you

will we remember
