The Spirit came that breathed across the waters

The Spirit came that breathed across the waters,
existent since the very dawn of time,
the essence of the Word at once incarnate,
providing sound to what was human mime;

Like lightning unleashed within the cosmos,
the unexpected flame of life set free,
that alloys different languages and values,
that opens eyes to love that all might see.
