"He created the Earth of his flesh; the rocks ans stones of his body, the rivers and oceans of his blood, and finally the air of his very breath. He then created all manners of life, grand and small, of plants and beasts and men. He breathed life into all that was created.
Satisfied, he turned to rest, and the world turned with him. All that he created slept sound that very first night.
Upon day, the world awoke and so did he. All that was left of him was the weight of a man. So he awoke and walked amongst all that he created; not God, the Lord, or Heavenly Father, but the Eternal Brother of Man.
For many years he walked amongst the people he had created. But a great sorrow grew inside him as he began to outlive his children.
That which he created, he was not. For a thousand days he stood unmoved, arms stretched out to the sun. Many thought he longed for that which he did not create. He returned to the Earth, whole once again."
I'll be honest. After re-reading it, I don't like it. It kinda flows like cinder blocks out of a cement mixer. I'm going to work at it.
Things I do like: "Eternal Brother of Man" and that he becomes a tree and some people take this as a sign of him longing to escape the world he created.
Hopefully I'll have a better draft up soon. I'm seeing something like this as backstory text rather than actual scripture.
