Ex Nihilo

Enjoy this video of poet Micah Bournes speaking of the creation.


Ex Nihilo - By Micah Bournes
Imagine nothing.
Not darkness since darkness is something.
Imagine no darkness.
Nothing.
No thing to look at.
No eyes to look with.
Even without eyes there was nothing to miss.
Emptiness.
Wrong. No space to be empty.
Imagine no emptiness.
Imagine no imagination.
Now imagine creation;
Materialized speech rising from the lips of He who preexists.
In the beginning God created.
With words.
Imagine the language.
Imagine the verbs.
Imagine the adjectives employed to modify earth.
Oh that ears could have heard to those majestic sentences.  
Listen as The Infinite articulates the landscapes which leave us speechless.
Speak LORD speak!
Let there be...
Light! Life! Earth! Sea!
Speak LORD speak!
Let there be…For our world is
Poetry.
