At the Prime of Creation,

by J. W. Cassandra

My poem titled At the Prime of Creation is the first poem in the second cycle of my first poetry book, "Eternity Awaken into Self-Consciousness", entitled "The Firestorm of Creation". The creating fire dance of the Dragon and the Tiger is a cataclysmic dance, a creation that touches the entire cosmos both in the poem and in the world depicted in the poem. The giant forces are also emphasized by the intensification visible in the adjectives of prime: the prime first provides a framework for the dance of the creative powers as a wild prime, then as a flame prime. All this is emphasized by storm and lightning, and the creating song of the Dragon and the Tiger mingles into its billowing hurricane, the admiration of which the poem calls for right in the first stanza.

At the wild prime of Creation
Listen, oh, listen
The song of the Dragon and Tiger!

At the wild Prime of Creation
Admire, oh, admire
The fire dance of Dragon and Tiger!

At the flame prime of Creation
Protect, oh, protect
The wild storm of dance and song!

Lightning flashes the flashing,
The sky thunders on the peak of a mountain –
Dragon and Tiger wreathing
Walk the whirling dance of Creation...
