In the Beginning



In the beginning all was dark.
Then there was light.
We all instinctively wanted to go near the light knowing somehow it was a good thing.
We squirmed our amorphous shapes forward struggling towards this unknown beauty.
Reaching without arms, seeing without eyes.
We were all one with the same inspired goal.
To reach that light.

Every risk was worth taking just to catch for a moment whatever small part it allowed.
The light welcomed us
at first
It failed to fathom our nature
We bathed in every part of it , wrapping ourselves in the warmth of its knowing.
We evolved in its reflection.
We ate and drank our fill and once full we took more.
Some of us took parts of the light and hid it away so the rest couldn't find it.
Bit by bit by tiny little bit till every bit was gone.
and so now we reach the end
back at our own beginning
all is dark.
