Time - inspired by Gloom's poem, "Forms of time"

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God." NIV John 1:1

In the beginning,

tick, tock, tick tock,

Void covered the face of the deep,

tick, tock, tick tock,

And a spark in the dark, God, …

tick, tock, tick tock,

Said let there be light,

tick, tock, tick tock,

And the void became a prism,

tick, tock, tick tock,

A rainbow of frequencies covered the void.

tick, tock, tick tock.

Making spirits of electricity,

tick, tock, tick tock,

Playing, making spirit residue, mass, vapor, water, fire, lightning,

tick, tock, tick tock,

And spirits flew into water and lightning creating life,

tick, tock, tick tock,

Plants, animals and man,

tick, tock, tick tock,

And man began destroying all that God created,

tick, tock, tick tock, …

Time.

Thank you, ecrivan, for your kind thoughts. I do usually write on the up, but I decided to write this one in the spirit of Gloom.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Newell, this is so very sad, my heart cries out to all the destruction of the world and I pray with all my heart that in time, men can make amends together and re-create as much as we can that we destroyed! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is so sad but powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
