The Sound

Before creation was silence.

The silence gave forth creation 

And out of creation was born the sound

And the sound moved in the heavens,

Swelled in the seas,

 Rose in the trees and

Flowed in the rivers.

And the sound shrilled through nature.

But man took the sound

And uttering his heart he

Breathed the poem

And gave

Life to the word.

Man became the word

And the word became the poem

And man listened in silence.
