And He, They, She, They,
but never it
thus spake life into existence.

No construction

As in the way

Mere mortals contrive.

By the breath Alone

Did He, They, She, They, (but never it)

bring forth Humankind.

Humankind was set to coexist with All Kind.

Alas, Humankind

Presumed Superiority Ultimate

And He, They, She, They, but never it

turned away

to deal with

Higher Things

For it is

The Higher Alone

That comprehends

this Magnificent Universe

ƒ

And, thus, We created Time, paused to look upon its potential,
and then stepped back outside of Time,
breathing onto the Timeline our Existence.

It was exceedingly good.

Alas, we did not stay for long,
and thus We concern ourselves
only with Higher Things
within this Magnificent Universe
outside which we stand,
observant, constant,
yet rarely intervening.

*And, thus, We created Time,*
*paused to look upon its potential,*
*and then stepped back outside of Time,*
breathing onto the Timeline our Existence.

It was exceeding good.

*Alas, we did not stay for long,*

*only with Higher Things*
*within this Magnificent Universe*
*Outside which we stand,*
*Observant, constant,*

Kenneth Webb

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.

He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.

Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.

In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
