In the Beginning
Nothing, expanded.
Blueprinted. Released.
Designed and planned for.

In the Beginning
Foundations laid.
Strength. Support.
Far-reaching.
Sun and moon and stars all over.

First
Fresh and new.
Structure.

Decorating.
Creating, remembering.
Mistakes, majesties.

Fourth
Repairs and hard work… read the rest. . .
