In the beginning was the word
You say, “Which word?”
and I start to speak in tongues
Words ignite me, then escape me,
If I’m honest
In the beginning
was the explosion
And the universe gets bigger every day
I hope it’s progress
It feels like distance
If I’m honest
In the beginning
Was the word
You say, “Which word?”
I want it to be love
I’m still deciding
It’s still expanding
If I’m honest
In the beginning
Was the darkness
Was the emptiness,
the vacuum,
and the void
Sounds relaxing
And enticing
If I’m honest
In the beginning
Was the light
As I write it casts a shadow across the page
I am not hiding
I am not lying
If I’m honest
