Another Time, the Same Old Story

At the beginning there were neither dark nor light
Neither colors, even the dark didn't exist as a color
No transparency, no air, nothing above nor below
Whatever was and ever will be
Was incapable of knowing all it was
As it was all, and all is nothing
Feelings, misery, happiness, pain, pleasure
Nothing
There was no imbalance
There was no cycle, no birth, no death
As for something to be born, something needs to die
Even peace was not
There were no stars, no heat, no cold
No imbalance, no movement
And for eons this was sufficient
And for eons it's all it will be
A dreaming god of eternity
But as all good stories start
One day a spark arose, a desire
Of knowing - what am I?
What could it be?
What is it to know?
A dream
And the nature of this dream is Love
And Love serves the Will
And the Will to know leads to imbalance
Imbalance leads to distortion
And gravity
Some say this was the ever-living Chaos
Indomitable, heating, destroyer
Born from the sacrifice of the eternal god
But soon Chaos became order
As the first Sun began saying:
"I Will shine no matter what"
"I Will impose gravity and imbalance"
"I Will shine even to the blind"
"I Will impose change in the matter"
Even this spark of desire could not be handled
As a vessel of the ever-dreaming god
And it shattered into a million sparks of the same essence
They started to dance... like the wings of a flame bird
And flew through the void that came from birth
The dance imploded, and expanded
Until it became the constellations of stars
Forming the eyes that see
The ever-wondering dance
Wandering the dreams
Of a ever-dreaming god
When these eyes fall into the void and the flames consume
And Love and Havoc blend without differing from each other
A sparking flame of order - of an eternal dream of a dreaming god
Spawns a new sun to rise in warmth and comfort
As the nature of this dream is Love
And Love serves the Will
And the Will to know leads to imbalance
And imbalance finds Order
