Creation

In the beginning there was nothing, but a lone God who wandered in nothingness timelessly -

But He soon grew lonely and bored with his penumbral existance,

So he gathered his power which came from within and CREATED.

Tired of only ever existing in darkness he separated it into two different entities: day&night, light&dark;

A star illuminated always half his face and the warmth gave him hope, and with hope came many more stars - more distant ones that would shine in the dark and bring hopehopehope forevermore -

Then, air. Swift and light. And soon the plain world was a collage of mountains, valleys, oceans, beaches, forests, prairies -

And they were filled with flowers, multicolored; and trees, short and tall; and animals, of differeof kinds roaming the Earth.

Then came humankind, frail and strong, ephimerous and everlasting, and a whole other contradictions, but they were perfect in their imperfections.

And the nameless God was content because I was nameless no more, I was now The Creator,

And My Creation was Good.
