Today' prompt was to write about the creation myth. So, I did! In my own way :)

Creation

On the first day, she let the light in

Her body radiant with life and bathed

In sweat. On the second day, she traced

The borderline between the earth and sky,

Looked out into the horizon, and knew

Her life would never be the same.

On the third day, she willed the forming

Of a world within herself, continents

Of cells awash within the ocean of love.

On the fourth day, she gave that world

A heart, a burning, eternal sun, a moon

For balance, confetti stars like dreams

To light the night. On the fifth day,

The world teamed at the snap

Of her finger within the depths of her,

The belly an ocean filled with life

That multiples, expands, and fills the emptiness.

On the sixth day, the greatest day of all,

She created, in the image of herself,

An embryo the size of a pin within,

Commands it to multiply, to grow

Beyond the confines of herself,

To burst through the door of the world.

On the seventh day, she rested,

Her universe a glimmer in her eye.
