CREATION
*
In the time before time, there
was Po
The Darkness between the Stars
The Virgin Womb of Creation
The Great Cosmic Egg
The Holy Womb of the Goddess
* *
Deep within
Po stirred passion and love
And divine lust moved the Mother
She brought
forth two Bright Spirits
Brought forth Divine Twins
Both male and female
in one
* * *
Held close within Herself
Deep within the Womb of Darkness
Twin spirits grew in Light
Were perfected deep in Po
Were perfected into
God
Who is Two and also One
* * * *
Eighteen billion years ago
The Darkness made love with the Light
In the moment of ecstasy
In the
flash of divine orgasm
There poured forth from God Herself
An infinite
rain of bright spirits
Poured forth the gods and stars and galaxies
The
myriad souls and sparks of life
This was the moment of our beginning
We
are all parts of the Goddess
