And the Evening and the Day Was the First Day

God created Night first,
light created out of darkness,
with the evening and the day
being the first day. Thus,
our liturgical calendar.
Then, all of our time left becomes
a personal preparation, a sleeping to wake,
an anticipation of rising,
a dreaming of time that becomes
the work of time, the pilgrimage into.
God created night to emerge from,
with light brought out,
where we rest and strive in time
to meet at the edge, the constant
moving to gather and then go.
