nina ulana poetry: In the Beginning

In the beginning, Artistic Being was indefinite, and Time was just an idea, floating dead in space. The Creators did not cast Time in the never ending play, for Time would most definitely measure and label the characters into understandable psychoses.

The creative mass of water was not limited with boundaries, but within this freedom reigned Chaos. Consciousness did not speculate on Meaning, but Existence, for Existence was beautiful. Chaos favored Change, for Change was a part of Existence. And thus Time was born, becoming part of Existence, along with us, the story and "once upon a time."
