Before the Beginning.
Nothing was there.
Then something changed.
Something did stir.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The Spirit blows where it wishes;
It goes wherever it will.
A gentle breeze over waters;
Causes them not to be still.
2 Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
From nothing to something;
In the space of a night.
From nought to one.
From black to white.
3 And God said: ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light.
He opened His eye.
And Good was the Light.
And with this command.
Begat day and night.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
With these Commands.
The first day was born.
Evening to morning.
Day One it was sworn.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. {P}
