Origin and Cessation

Origin and Cessation walked hand in hand,

they whispered to space, "Come beginnings, come ends."

They hummed the tune of space without an end.

"Come, ends, join us here, stay near," they called,

walking with the tune rushing them on,

knowing how, and why, they fear no one.

Their footsteps hovering over the ground,

no being could hear their steps with no sound,

no shadow to be found.

A figure walked a bit ahead,

towards them as if without an end.

"Who am I?" the figure said.

"You are Beginning," Origin said with a smile in its eyes.

"You are Beginning," Cessation answered with a light.

Together they took the first step as Life,

knowing they would soon meet Death and Beginning would die.

Another being loomed in the distance.

"What am I?" it asked.

"You are Death," they said as one.

Together they crumbled, fell through the mound,

the space that first created them sang and whispered their final sound.
