Deacon Ed's Poems
Ex Nihilo

Nothingness,
Wasteland formless,
God toils,
Water roils,
Day and night,
Dark and light,
Big and small,
Sun, moonfall,
Land, water split,
Earth, ocean fit,
Living creatures,
From far and near,
Green life appears,
Earth alive,
With flower, hive,
Animals created,
Man unabated,
Garden flowers,
Temptation overpowers,
Forbidden tasted,
God's gift wasted,
Work and toil,
Plant the soil,
Sin's bane,
Childbirth's pain,
Banishment,
Christ is sent,
God-man killed,
Life fulfilled,
God's intersection,
His resurrection.
