Then rose I of state dormant.
Bedighted th’ heavens with hues of vermillion
As Apollo was nascent.
Though, accompanied was I
By remnant oneiric;
Of dreamward plane not wholly departed.
Wherein upon me was bestowéd office of the omniscient
Tasked to engender the kosmos’ existence.
Anew awoke I, ‘twixt nebulous skies and earth verdant
How the folly of mind within me occasioned ideas magnificent
Thus, betook I to greet this thoughtful complexion
Anon succumbing to accustomed dreariness.
Alas! With weariness absconded and sight restoréd
My surroundings I deduced upon th’ opening of mine eye.
‘Twas th’ darkest of environs, so still and silent
Void magnificent that nought beareth.
For th’ learnéd souls and minds creative
Were but forms nonexistent
With whom I, the Creator, was to endow life.
Yet, ere the orbs’ and the suns’ conjuring
Did I ponder my preoccupation
As regards the prolonging of my future creation.
So thus, ‘twas light I conceived
To oppose the blackness abounding
Force primordial to sustain the galactic bodies.
Thereafter came the divers planets
Each of varied size and surface
Was I behooved to further th’ formation expansive
Thus, came th’ astros’ and comets’ construction.
Lo! Beauty ethereal begat I, the omnipotent.
Once interminable space replete with nothingness.
Absolute state that predated all physics.
Now, awesome domain governed by law complex.
Though, fecundity had ceased not,
I then betook to th’ creation of th’ seas, and th’ flora, and th’ creatures ambulant
And th’ boundary to discern th’ divine of mortality’s constituents.
And upon termination of tasks titanic
Sought I rest
As all beheld the marvels of my work.
I soon grew weak ‘fore drowsiness and betook to sleep
Most content with myself, the universe’s artisan
