The Birth of Life
Genesis 1.24-28
Creator, by
definition creates all.
Embraces nothing,
Creator extends love.
Creator chose
co-creation to include the fall.
Creator alongside
Word Made Flesh, Spirit dove.
Reflect this moment
upon all that is.
Numbers continue to
mount, the limit: infinity.
Our faith reach
extends to Creator, the Whiz.
Knowledge of God’s
ways will pass beyond eternity.
Curiously there
exists some order, some logic.
Honest science
includes mystery, unknown areas.
Life itself can be
embraced if one is strategic.
Inclusive means
reaching around not making barriers.
Each person, a solar
system complete,
Creator’s sun
surrounded by complexity;
Family systems each a
constellation replete,
Double star creating
new nebulae of perplexity;
Scriptural witness
captures celestial beginnings.
Creator touches every
aspect, makes all life.
Dynamism at the heart
of the opening innings,
Joy, wrath, peacefulness,
pain, loveliness, strife;
Ecology links all
creation, consequential, profound.
Each element affects
its neighbor, has its place.
Freely journeying
humanity walks upon holy ground.
We, Co-creators, can
skew the plan but not erase.
Pronounced ‘Good’, created-ness
ever central focus;
Culture constantly
spins the meanings, usually selfish.
Servants of the One make
loving justice the locus.
Word Become Flesh
transformed all, at Spirit’s wish.
May our presence be a
blessing for all to see.
May our society bring
support, love, care.
May thankful bodies,
spirits, hearts make justice free.
May life’s adventure
be everything we might dare.
