Before it all… before anything, before the measure of time, before thought had its first spark, before the first word was ever spoken— there was __Silence__. And in that silence, there was peace— a stillness vast enough to cradle eternity, _untouched, unbroken_, where nothing was needed, and nothing was lost. But silence does not last forever. From its depths came a fracture, a tremor in the void, and with it—__Chaos__. The silence cried, and its tears fell like stars, scattering across the endless dark. Their echoes stretched beyond forever, reminding us that every peace carries its price, and every beginning is born from breaking. For even before creation, before the heavens, before the earth, there was silence. And when all else is gone, silence will remain. “Perhaps I never lived, perhaps I never died. For dying is simple, but living is the harder task— yet in the silence, I hear the first true sound of life.”

Before It All
I was a raven once bumping along on two legs blundering around in the dark talking Raven talk I was enigmatic I was a spruce needle once floating down the stream waiting to see who might swallow me I was enigmatic I was a young woman once filled with wonder, attitude, and matriarchal potential I was enigmatic Then I was a pregnant young woman filled with wonder, attitude, and a womb full of growing child We were enigmatic Just as one becomes two, remember this is true: Raven brings agency and misunderstanding And agency is quite enigmatic Because agency is the action that changes landscapes over time like water through a canyon And landscapes of the mind are enigmatic When Trickster becomes kin, is a good space to begin ... with the future rarely clear and end times always near By the moon, stars, and Sun, At least we have perspective And perspective is forever enigmatic

Ruffled and Charred
I always wondered Who made the clear blue sky And exhibited goosebumps When the moon and stars appeared at night The highest mountain and the deepest valley Who made them all so perfectly? I entered grandma’s large room To get answers to my questions And there she was, sleeping soundly Breathing the morning away I sat close to her big brown bed Sitting and watching her beautiful face I also wanted to ask her Who made her pretty face? At last she awoke, Quamin she called As she turned and sat on the bed Grandma it’s me Amba I said As I struggled to sit on her bed Granny seemed not to make us out at all When her glasses lay idle somewhere Oh my! she exclaimed apologetically As she brushed her feeble hands through my hair How may I help you my little angel? She asked with smiling eyes Grandma I want to know from you Who made the world so beautifully? She smiled at me and whispered to me Only my small ear could hear His name is God was what I heard Neither once nor twice but thrice Her words and the truth sounded so true I smiled as though I knew this God I told her I wanted us to visit God So I could give him fruits and pie She drew me closer and closer to her with her two giant and feeble arms And told me that God is here I was amazed to hear this again and again She told me God is everywhere Omnipresent is the word she used And mentioned other Omni words She told me there is a creation story And promised to tell me the story at night While I rested in her warm embrace I knew grandma was the best Even more amazing is the faithful God we serve The day and night he made on the first day And the wide sky on the second day On the third day he created the land and grass The sun moon and stars came fourth On the fifth day fishes and birds appeared Animals and humans he made on the sixth day He rested on the blessed seventh day And saw that what he created was good Oh! The charming creation story she told Is the greatest story indeed!

Grandma's creation story to Amba

The Serpent squeezes the mundane egg, for a moment in time, …to begin the ages, turn the wheel, and so begin the rhyme, The circus has commenced, a dancing, swirling motion, …a pit of ghastly horrors, seen as a vast deep ocean, …or celestial or cosmic, as some would have the notion. Some of them were large, although some were also small, …and grotesquely figured or disfigured, a scary monster’s ball, …and trudging, stampeding, stomping or slithering down the hall. There they danced, sang or prattled, where giants fought and where they battled, …thunder unto heroes rattled, with awful screams so frightening, and terrifying lightning! Scaly, hairy or feathered, wet and fiery or weathered, …conjoined, twisted or tethered, slithery writhing together, Kingu and his wife, some say it was t’was his mother, …his plan was war and strife, pitting brother against brother, A ******* existence and so morally depraved, …a state of sickly persistence, they found themselves enslaved. Then abounding voice of heaven, that divided night by day, …brought forth a princely king of Luke; the warrior Marduk. Fourteen engaged in combat, the one against thirteen, …and thus aligned with the ecliptic, at night they can be seen,   Sloshing in the Apsu, beaten with the club, …slain and torn to pieces, cutting channels of their blood, A north wind sent them to their places, fixed on Tiamat’s wheel, …and the starry constellations, did Marduk bring to heel.
