The Birth Of Ra, God Of The Sun

In the beginning, there was only a 
black void, directionless and infinite.
A chaos where watery beings lay,
deep in Nun. Four paired creatures intertwined,
snake-like limbs outstretched toward her embrace.
From shadows, Ra rose, unbeaten and strong-
moved heaven and earth to where they belonged. 
He was the heat, a mighty creator
of sun. Oh, how endless his love, eter-
nal and never undone. For he gave shape,
aurified the amorphous nothingness
with his magnificent spirit- and from 
his chest, so pure and blinding came a light 
that erupted and ripped into the night.
