mmm
hum
me humming
me hearing
Sound
me
me seeing
Light
me
feel
me feeling
Touch
me
me tasting
Taste
sweet sour bitter
I am
I know
I float weightless... in what?
I grow
I have no end
I am light I am sound I am matter
What else is there?
There is nothing
I am alone
Empty space surrounds me
I need
I need something
Energy strums through me
It leaves me in flashes of light and matter
These fly from me
I will call them stars
They are myriad
They move together, gather, explode, implode
Become solid
Each one a giant burning mass
Around it lumps of matter
They circle it
They become spheres
They spin
They are rock
They are air
They are water
Elements form
Amino acids, proteins
Forming cells
They divide
They form organisms
These live, grow, change, die
They come from seeds, from spores
They settle
Other creatures come
They live, they move, they eat what is there
The creatures make more in their own likeness
They are myriad like the stars
Some live in earth, some in water, some in air
They are huge, they are large, they are small, they are tiny
They are diverse
Some come from eggs
Some hide their flesh within a shell
Some have bone within and flesh outside
These make more creatures within themselves
The new creatures eat what is there
They grow, reproduce and die
Their bodies return to earth and nourish it
Eons pass
More creatures emerge, change, grow and die
More eons pass
The creatures start to act with purpose
They know each other
They speak to each other
They wonder at the world around them
Together they change the world
They look for meaning
Imagine a being who created them
They imagine me
Now I know who I am
I am god
