The
waters were still
And it was dark
The wind was silent
And it was cold
The earth was barren
Without clothing
The wind whirled the waters
Up into the heaven
To drop the first spindle
Spinning
earthwards
And the sun brought light
To
spin the first thread
Chained eyes of colour
Made
the first whorl
The dew.
And
the earth was clothed
With
the warmth of that thread
Star-seed from the spinning
Once
quickened in its cradle
To life
