‘In the beginning’……

Was there ever a ‘beginning’

in this journey from Alpha to Omega

when the first and last juxtapose

and the greatest and least

spin upon an axis.

‘In the beginning the word’

spoken into a void

conjured significance

from nothing

and love and pain in tandem

begin their industry.

‘In the beginning’

uncreated light begat light

not with candle

gentle, unassuming, comfortable;

but with tidal dawn -

a birthing

bloody, confident, exposing.

And the end was the beginning

for the beginning

began

the end.
