God's creation of a human being

 

I Am the Creator of all things.
Creator of all things that fly in the air and that swim in the sea.
I Am the One who hung the stars in space.
The One who holds the universe in His hands.
 
I created land and sky.
I created wind and fire.
I created snow and rain.
I took a piece of Heaven, and molded it into something more beautiful than anyone or anything had ever seen… you.
 
Before you were even a thought, I had a plan for you, and I knew you because I love you.
Before one moment on the earth, I had a vision of you.
I took a piece of Me and created you.
 
I molded you into the perfect likeness, and gave you wonderful things.
I took you near the sun; one of the flames caught you. Slowly, that became your hair.
 
I took you down inside the oceans to give your eyes color. I took some of the water in my hand and sprinkled it in your eyes… a beautiful shade of blue.
Then you and I went up to Heaven.
I reached up and took a star from the sky, and made your eyes twinkle brightly.
This will be a sign of my light shining within you.
 
I then looked at you in admiration, and began to weep.
A tear fell from My eye, and landed on your cheek. Your love and joy for other people will be so strong.
 
I knew that there was one thing missing, your smile.
I took a bolt of lightning from the sky, and placed it near your face. It was beautiful.
 
 
Finally, it was time for you to be complete.
I touched you with My hand, and I listened.
I heard your heart start beating, and I knew that it was good.
 
When I was finished, I held you up, and told all creation about you.
I told them about you in the rain.
And, in the fire.
And, in the wind.
They heard of you in the thunder and lightning.
And all of creation, stood in silent wonder of My masterpiece.

Josh writes crisp, clear and concise words that flow smoothly from the writer to the reader. The compassion and beauty in his poetry is both romantic and spiritual. I think we'll be hearing more from this young author for years to come.

Absolutely fantastic poem about creation. By reading it, it's almost as if you can hear God's voice coming from the sky.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
