It was then I heard the silence,
a great stillness,
as if time had not began,
the earth not turning.
As if the creator,
the Rainbow Serpent,
the Deity,
were pondering the risk.

The unborn wind and all the water were still,
mountains silent and unmoving,
and all the while the sun, moon, stars and others watched and waited
for day and night to begin and until then,
there was no sound.
For without the first sound,
there was no beginning,
no energy,
no struggle,
no love, no hate.
All the sounds of eternity waited.

The sounds of the wind, sea, thunder,
the cry of the newborn,
the roar of triumph,
a cry of pain, despair,
the groan and shiver of the earth.
