The Manuscript

At first there was Time

And then the Earth and Life came at once.


Together they found a balance

Between chaos and nothing

And Light was born.


Then,

Earth asked to Time ‘may I build?’

‘May I make mountains, ground, and oceans below?"

And Life asked to Time ‘may I follow?’

‘May I make beings

Who here may grow?’


And Time did ponder this alone.


As together they mused of creation

Time he did concede,

However,

‘All Earth will damage through my passing’

He said.

‘And all Life must come to me’.
