let there be light

let there be light
the words burst forth into the nothingness,
igniting everything and dividing the dark.

let there be light

the words cut through the slab of heart,

removing the stone and replacing it with flesh.

let there be light
the light floods in, creating the colors,
creating the prisms and rainbows yet to come.

let there be light

the light pushed in, pure and bright and white,

clearing out the darkness with its radiance.

let there be light
the flood of warmth pulses through the waters,
stirring its depths into a habitat yet to be inhabited.

let there be light

the windows of the soul are thrown open wide,
 for the Light of the world has taken up residence.

let there be light

and it was so
