Begin
The space was empty
So I filled it
The stars were blinding
So I dulled them
My children cried
I let them
The wolves prowled
I let them
When they begged for me to hear them I allowed them to be heard
When they begged for me to give them light I allowed them to look to the sun
I let trees fall
I let plates shift
I let blood turn blue
Let mountains bubble
The clouds became full
The flames became tall
The ground became oil
And when my children cried for me to erase what I had made
I let them cry, I took their tears, and showered where they laid
