The Second Scroll
Water from Water


God said, "Let there be an empyrean expanse
within the midst of the waters
which divides the water above
from the water below."

God created the expanse
to give breath to life
and separated the water above
from the water beneath.

It was so.

God called the expanse, "Heaven."
There was evening.
There was morning.
It was the second day.

--Genesis 1:6-8
