More poetry, but only a draft.

(Me being metaphysical (sort of))

Seven Moments, One Moment

I
in the moment before creation
the echo of birds
hung upon my ear
and bits of reflected starlight
caught my eye

II
one moment the world stopped
ceased
and I moved among its
constituent parts
held each one

III
in the moment of my pain
I lay on the hill
and watched hosts
opposites and equals
water the heavens with their life

IV
the moment of understanding
tasted when I drank
celestial mists
from my cupped hand
was the moment of darkness

V
in my first moment
I stood on that hill
and surveyed
the fires of consumption
and rebirth

VI
for a moment before the sun was
I touched
radiant golden earth
it crumbled easily
as I held it

VII
in the last moment I was whole
I stepped implacably
toward incompleteness
and opened my hand
