Before existence
Before the land and the sea
Before you and me
Before even time was born
the spirit of creation
decided to create something
super special,
A universe,
with planets, stars, comets
and asteroids
Maybe even more than one
universe
And so with the universe
The great spirit
created a wondrous concept,
Time!
The great spirit says,
"I can do better than this
I can create
Life!"
And so,
the great spirit created
a huge variety
Of plants and flowers
and trees!
Then smiled pleasantly,
and says,
"I've created a home for life!"
and then creates more life,
animals,
Beautiful animals
of all types!
Afterwards the great spirit
looked upon his creation
and thought,
"There seems to be something missing,"
then in a loud voice shouts,
"Eureka!"
pointing towards the heavens,
instantly
there was a sonic boom,
and a roar of thunder
as lightning
struck the ground
"Yes!,"
thought the great spirit
I must create spirits like me
Creative beings with spirits,
and a desire to create
and so it was,
The great spirit created human beings
human beings with beautiful spirits
and a love for creating
and human beings
with an evil spirit
and a will to destroy all
of creation
Then the great spirit thought,
"My spirit creations in their bodies
will eventually
grow tired of creating,
And will not wish to stay forever
So I will give my spirit creations
a gift of time"
And so the great spirit
gathered boxes,
both large and small
And some pretty wrapping paper
Vivid and colorful
with various designs,
Then broke pieces of time
from the whole,
and sliced some pieces of time
from the whole,
like slicing a gourmet pizza
Then these pieces were gift wrapped,
and tied with pretty bows
with name tags
for each recipient
And so pieces of time is the gift
for all of beings of life
plants, animals, and human
and what of the giver?
Will he someday ask,
"What have we done with
Our gift of time?"
