before being

And these things that were first, unlike thirst
Before emptiness and the abyss

The prior
Long since
And past

When all caused things
Once uncaused
Were such

Before motion was set in
Before motion inset
Before the setting into motion

Of things, so long before
Not in the beginning
But before

The beginning of beginnings
When beginning became
What was formless was such

To have no shape and be shapeless
To not have quality
To be unbeing

The idea then took form
Do you know how energy can…
To go from unbeing to being?

The formless to having form
Takes from beyond
If only to become a fraction of what is
