Here is Sophia's poem:
The Story of Life: Prologue
by Sophia Berez
A fresh canvas to start what never ends
Colossal medleys of entrancing colors scattered across creation's palette
The ramshackle utensils of artistry are bestirred from their long rest
Brow furrowed, God renders the everlasting epitome of creation
Colors tranquilly flow throughout the barren landscape
The land basks under the warm glow of the newborn sun
Mother Nature clothes the terrain in a gentle, misty blessing
Her essence warms icebound souls into a pristinely blossoming reality
Father Time knits a mesmerizing ocean: clear, yet filled with mystery
He scrupulously chisels landforms with the find tip of his eternal scythe
The Great Spinning Wheel itself is once more summoned to interlock the threads of sin and grace
The petrichor of replenished life dawns upon the land
Nature and Time take on the golden throne, as God tenderly cradles the world in his arms
He sings us silent lullabies to smooth our twisted Muscle of Emotion
If only our ears weren't immune to its melody, if only our hearts weren't immune to its words
If only our minds weren't afraid to believe it, if only we weren't afraid to sing it
