Imagine if you can, what it is like

To have no possessions at all, nothing

Very few people are able to imagine

Such a thing to have nothing at all

Well let us, you and I, try to imagine

Something a hundred times harder

Not just to have nothing at all

But when there was nothing at all

The very beginning of time

The dawn of history

Page one

Nothing at all

The earth itself

Without form and void

Only an emptiness, formless

A dark endless waste of water

No living thing, no plant or tree

No bird or animal, nothing

This is before people

Before anything at all

A void, sitting silent

Still and then nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing
