Elixir of life

Void of nothingness, when there was no in or out
Before before, no time no darkness or light
Out of emptiness, virgin air came about
Oxygen embracing hydrogen, bonded tight

Water  birthed, distilled drops of falling rain
Sun's fire peers through cloud facades
Earth made of things dead, plants growing out of past pain
Animal's grazing, man's meat given by the gods

Womb of the abyss impregnated with the seed of life
Air, water, earth, fire to form a philosopher stone
Creations' umbilical cord cut with evolution's knife
From Adam or atom came the bone
