Rumor at Sinai

We're told it happened.
It spun the
galaxy of tales.
They spoke it,
sending what happened
through time, the groundwork
of mystery, and we
don't know what it was.
There's talk of the bang,
dark clouds and ashes
with a deep core
of something wrapped in it.
We don't know what
the people saw that
went beyond the story
and started dreadful new chapters.
