Out of the root of darkness
you came striding,
with light and stars and
the silver phases of the moon,
with wind and fury,
storming hair and
thundering eyes.

You molded the waves of
air into names and gave
being to the world.
With your voice you captured
the words as the world,
and the world lay down for you.
You breezed through the
separation of sky and earth
and stone and sea,
and you sang the world into
harmony.

Then the sun rose and you were the sun.
Earth and sea kissed your eyes
as you came up out
of the surround of dark,

and the stars grew to
their wheeling as
you pulsed with
fire and earth and air and water,

and with your pulse
you named the days
and hours
and you hummed their tune
till they became
the tune,
and you released the world
to its inevitable unfolding
and silently you reseeded.

You came up through
the cloying dark,
and the world swaddled you
then the suckling wind
scalped a bed of sand for you
and in the grit you lay,
as the moon and stars
counted their time,
and you naked,
sprinkled with clinging
light and the silver of the moon
slept the sleep of oblivion,
dreamless, content and still.

And then in the unraveling,
the counting came to an end
and the cycle of words and world
fell to silence and into the consuming void.

Then again you came up through the
choking dark,
struggling with light and sound and the
silver phases of the moon,
with wind and fury,
storming hair
and thundering eyes.
