-- Behold the Creation --

by John Herlihy

 

What a sublime sensation

Behold this divine creation

Once there was nothing

Then there was something

Time’s arrow aimed sure

The heart of creation pure

The breath in its chest

The spirit in its breast

We wonder at its strange power

We marvel at the passing hour

The earth on its course

Such movement, such force

Light out of darkness

Created with such finesse

Day created out of night

God said: Let there be light

"For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." "Let there be Light" indeed. Enjoyed. Thanks, John. Peace... rlc
