so you think
you found God
but God
found you
God said
"take away the light"
once you closed
your soul and eyes
God said
"let there be darkness"
and the darkness
closed all around
the ailing world
in the beginning
there was God
and God spoke
that creative word
"let there be light"
and there was light
but God didn't tell you
that the darkness
would come
to take away the light
and in the end
there would
be nothing
but absence
of heaven
and earth
and no words
would ever be spoken
so beginnings
could never ever
again become
creation's shameful token
