God created man
In his image
But what image was that
The one he formed
Of the dust of the ground
Or the formless
The one who became
A living soul
On reflection of my life
I start here
Where I am now
According to the Bible,
If the creation story holds true
Which it will,
We can all trace our line
Back to the garden
To Adam and Eve
The first man and first woman
The only two never born
And these two are one
But further back
Before Eve
There was only Adam
Yet she was with him
A part of him
A rib, some say
So she was present
With him
Before she was
Taken from him
And made to appear
Separate from him
Before that
There was no Adam
Only the dust of the ground
Out of which the man was formed
And became a living soul
After receiving the breath of life
Before that there was light
Before that there was
Heaven and earth
And God who created them
What is seen and what is not
The form and the formless
The particle and the wave
And these two are one
And between the creation
Of heaven and earth
And the light
Was the spirit of God
She who was with him
In the beginning
Before the dividing time
Genesis 1:2
“The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
