At the very
beginning,
that millisecond
of time
when the chaos,
the deep
was pierced by the
light;
When order began
to divide
the dark from the
light
the waters from
the land
the dome, the
seas, the skies.
Oh to see creation
at that moment
the world and all
that came into view
all part of the
master’s holy plan
by the breath of
God.
His hand, His
Spirit,
over the seas, the
dry land
all that was to be
revealed in a
moment of grace.
Pleased was the
Lord,
“good, very good”,
spoken over all
God surveyed
the plants,
animals too;
The creatures of
the deep
those that walked
the earth
man and women too
all good, very
good.
An ordered
universe
out of the void,
that nothingness
the chaos giving
way;
The voice of the Creator
spoke all to life;
Resting, taking
Sabbath,
when the work was
done.
