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.
