Bereishit

We weren’t just at Sinai.
We were there at Tsimtsum, at Bereishit.
When Elohim emerged
As the heavens and the Earth.
We were the nothing that became
Everything
Every thing
Every every
We were the dust
and the firmament.
We were
the waters below
and the waters above.
We shaped into plants and animals.
We grew into the Earth: Adome:
Adam and Chavah.
We rested and we continued to change.
We were Creation.
We still are.
