🌌 《In the Beginning: A Creation Story》
🌌 《In the Beginning: A Creation Story》
— English Literary Version
In the beginning, there was nothing.
No light.
No sound.
No time.
Just a vast, endless silence.
But in that silence, a presence stirred—eternal, unseen, and utterly alive.
He was not made.
He simply was.
The “I AM” beyond understanding.
And He spoke.
“Let there be light.”
At once, darkness was pierced.
Brilliance burst forth like a million suns.
Time unraveled. Space expanded.
Galaxies spun into motion as if dancing to a silent rhythm only He could hear.
On the second day, He separated the waters.
The heavens arched above like a crystal dome,
And below, the oceans rolled with power and mystery.
On the third, dry land appeared.
Mountains lifted their heads toward the sky,
And valleys embraced the rivers that flowed like veins of life.
Trees reached upward,
Flowers unfolded in joy,
And the earth sang beneath His touch.
“It is good,” He whispered.
On the fourth day, He scattered stars across the heavens.
The sun took its place to govern the day,
And the moon lit the night with gentle beauty.
On the fifth day, the sea swelled with life.
Whales leaped with joy. Birds danced on the wind.
Creation breathed, alive with purpose.
“It is good.”
Then came the sixth day.
He knelt,
Gathered the dust of the earth in His hands,
And shaped it with love.
Not a statue, but something infinitely more.
He leaned close—
And breathed.
A man opened his eyes.
For the first time, a human saw light,
Felt the wind,
Heard the pulse of a living world.
“Adam,” God said.
“You are made in My image.”
Tears welled in Adam’s eyes.
Not of fear. Not of confusion.
But of a love too deep for words.
God placed Adam in a garden, radiant and serene.
Yet something was missing.
So from Adam’s side, God formed her.
The woman.
She woke,
And saw him.
“You…” he whispered.
“You are bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh.”
She smiled—
And the garden smiled with her.
That day, the wind learned to sing.
On the seventh day, God rested.
Not from exhaustion, but in delight.
Not because He needed to stop—
But because everything He made was complete.
He looked over all He had formed,
And said with a tender finality:
“It is very good.”
To this day, the stars remember that voice.
The trees still whisper His breath.
And every soul that lifts its eyes in wonder is echoing a truth from long ago:
In the beginning… love made the world.
And even now, that love remains.
