Poetry

When Once There Was Nothing

When once there was nothing

Though once implies when

And when could not happen

Till time did begin

And nothing was nowhere

Till something was here

A great mindless mind

Knowing not love nor fear

And time quickly happened

Space swiftly took shape

Light came through the sunder

Of dark blown agape

So then we are here now where nothing once were

When once there was nothing

And then quite a stir

And people and places and things to refer

When once there was nothing

And nothing was sure
