Creation of Adam
A gentle draft and You appeared, Almighty!
Our fingers barely touched. You said, “Arise!”
I gazed at you with then still frozen eyes,
drew in a breath (a breath!) and trembled slightly.
A man without a past is but a ghost.
Thus I awoke to life in mild delusion.
Thus wakes a dreamer, smiling in confusion,
attempting to recall the dream he lost.
