Ex Nihilo: Creation Haikus

I-Them
All was God, before
A word—‘Others’—imagined
All with others, now

Being Refracted
All white Light, before
A word—‘Create’—illumined
Light, now, Christmas lights

Beasts Before Man
We, before Adam,
Ate bamboo with the pandas
Since, appetites changed

I-Thou
All with others, then
Clay Word—‘Us’—still spinning, wet
All is in His hands

Alike
Our image, likeness
—Loved, made, blessed, crowned, gave, released—
Go and do likewise

Unalike
You shall be like God
They do not know what they do
Father, forgive them

Being Eclipsed
The moon got jealous
And rose up one dawn—to shine!
His shadow cast down

In Nihilo: Sagittarius Ω
The rich man looked up
But the world was upside down
And he was still god
