Eternal Rhapsody

"What was before Creation is not known By mortal intellects...this Mystery Is only understood by God alone, Who spoke the Word, and all things came to be. Omnipotence looked out on emptiness, And Chaos suddenly was cast aside, The universe replaced it with success, When light outran the darkness with one stride. For space and time were brought into the game, And then the void began to disappear, Thus nothing was no more...space overcame The empty depths, and time at last was here. So Truth, before the Cosmos was designed, Was only known to God's Omniscient Mind."
