First Light

In the beginning
The night sky was void...
Of all light.
When people looked up...
All they saw was darkness.

Then one dark night...
Someone looked up...
And saw a bright shining star.
Then another and another.
Others too...
Began to see them.

There were many reasons...
As to why this came to be - this is mine.

I'm not quite sure...
It may have been a man
Or it may have been a woman.
But this much I do know...
In a moment of tenderness...
One had put their arm around the other.

The same energy that keeps those stars shining
Is also, within you.
