In The Beginning
jody l cooke 2021 (north carolina)
In the beginning there was darkness
All around
That touched the sky above us, and slowly
Moved to the ground
We stood there all alone knowing that we
Where lost with images
Of someone there we were afraid to move
And so afraid to count
The costs. Then he spoke to us in our dreams
His words roared like
Thunder across our minds, he spoke in riddles
And in rhymes
He show us the path to walk upon through all
Space and time
And we did what we were told. Now the story
Begins to unfold.
He said listen to our hearts and souls for
The answer ye seek
Ye shall find. All you have to do is read
Between the lines.
