Genesis has a look;

it looks like a stone-washed sky.

Genesis has a feel;

it feels like a spring passed by.

Genesis has a sound; the birds chirp in oblivion,

or perhaps in warning...

perhaps in mourning.


A robin's egg, fallen from the nest

pieces of its shell scattered near.

The robin sings out in fear.


There is nothing to fear!


Genesis has a smell;

it smells like fresh linen,

hanging below the dark,

rolling clouds.

Genesis has a beginning;

it begins like the end...

it ends like the beginning.


In the streets, people scream,

for death is near:

a newfound language of fear.


There is nothing to fear!


This is genesis

It is only genesis.
