I Was Forged Well And Primeval Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

I was forged well and primeval
Of the salt of the universe
And then of earth when it formed full
I was forged for
I was there when the rivers rose
Down the jagged valleys opened just
And from there to the Ocean did they flow
Unbound, azure and cool and deep and wild.
I was there when the sun
Bolstered itself up from gassy flames:
I was there when the mounts
That rise above this earth arose
I was there I was primeval
I was ancient I was basic
I was there.
