The umph of un-fomred umphisness

lay upon the nill.

a vapid vacuum all unfilled

a dark and dreamless void.

–

Silent strains, then hint of sound–

floating notes of thrill;

sparks of dotted light from naught

harmony and trill.

–

Gathered up from never-grown

atoms, meaning, skill:

an open sear of flamishness

the flash of heavenly will.

–

Sure as sound and live as as sight,

leaping to fulfill,

the empty night yields ground to might

in bright that warms the chill–

–

cascading out, and vast about

heaven’s darkling hill.

Words it took, words alone,

and stars fulfilled His will.
