Before Nothing Became Something



Rare compassions for that which saves lifes
benefits, for you from the prime provider
that one created from the first mould; the
builder of all that is within the universe.

Built from the desires of and within all
of things eternal, things lasting forever
of eons ago before nothing became something
wonderous the reach that completes a circle.

Of what number, in what lifeline are you
put in what lifetime, surpassed by the few
pieces placed together comprising the view
of what it takes, what devotion is due...

See without yourself, see within, see the
true pictures of how all of life did begin
one of the Six, standing tall, shooting in
seeding life, giving life, saving all life
from when; long ago then, began something.
