For Him also

For Him also                                                                                           

Time apparently non-existent before God

premiered His kaleidoscopic Creation,

breaking Himself into pieces – near and far,

large and small, lover and Beloved;

space emerging with time like conjoined twins;

color not existing until He broke

the Light of Himself over His own knee;

movement not existing until the fragments

swam to each other, embraced and kissed. 

Separating Himself; leaving us

to make our own sense of His strewn

bits, textures, shapes and colors. 

For us all apparently to exist and know ourselves

but for Him also, in relation to us,

for how could Love ever Be without a lover

and how could God ever exist without a witness?  

O child of God, the One became two, 

says the old man, then three, then ten thousand.
