Song of Genesis
In the beginning there was light, thenblue sky, for light is absorbed
in the layers of air we see.
In the beginning was the Passion, and from
its blood sprang the animals, from its
Cross the plants. There was, in the beginning,
the tiny vegetable-animal, hidden
in Paradise but omnipresent
since before the beginning. And the Edenic
earth or clay gave substance to Nature
and Man, bathed by the light
which sculpted lines and hazy shapes.
In the beginning there was the sweat
and blessing of those who work
their body and their bread from sun to sun.
And the fruits gleamed in that light
when the waters separated, and the sea,
to this day, breaks its waves without ceasing
so that I will hear the sound of genesis.
