In the beginning was wholeness
and there was no beginning or end
only wholeness
and fullness of breath
which exceeded
the beginning of time.
Breath exceeded all measure
and was known
and was known and respected
as the one breath,
and was known
in the vast
expanse
and dark fullness
of original space.
This all took place
even before the formation of molecules
and in its own way
continues to this day
while holding us,
holding us at a distance
from fullest knowing
of that which is beyond time and space
the one breath
and sacredness
of original space.
