Creation Myth

In the dark it was alone

It reached inside itself
pulled out its heart
and threw it into the dark

It wept in it’s loneliness and pain
it’s tears made oceans and rivers
it’s breath became the sky.

Wherever the blood of its heart fell
life sprang forth; all the animals and plants
it smiled and then there was light

Far away in the dark
the heart was filled with radiance
and the sun was born
