Personal note and apologies to the author: I made 5 editorial changes by replacing the male pronoun normally used for God with the name God. Please forgive my indulgence. 

Genesis - a Triune poem - By Joanee Tolles

In the beginning
            all was God and God was all
                                                there was.

God held hope and love like a babe
wrapped in a soft cotton coverlet.

God softly caressed courage and fortitude
between His strong hands.

God whispered words of power while
God watched imagination flower.

In the beginning
            all was good and there was peace
                                                in the calm.

The first sunrise spread gracefully across
the earthen orb.

From east to west

light frolicked in the dawn shadows
and found a home place.

Trees reached for the light in the sky
and buds became tomorrow's beauty.

In the beginning

           a man and a woman shared
                 dominion and tended the home place.

Made in God's image,
they danced in the dawn
and raised grateful hands
in thanks to their God.

In the beginning
            all was good and good was all

                                                            there was.
