Creation

The eye of the Creator rested for a time
     upon the blackness of the void spread
     endlessly before Him;

Presently God formed a plan,
     and in His mind conceived the workings

Of a universe so finely honed
     and of such pleasing form

That mortal minds would  strive 
     to codify its essence 
     and to ferret out its principles 
     throughout man's stay in time;

Of galaxies to fill that void
     with starshapes without number,

Each one glimmering its mysteries
     across a timeless space;

Of awe-inspiring, rainbowed planets
     oft' with moons reflecting
     their suns' fire. 

And so, when God had seen these things
     in dreams - had seen the good in them -
He roused Himself from reverie;

With but a gesture did he spangle Heaven's fabric
     with a trillion twinkling stars,

And as He deftly waved His hands across that marvel
     of first dawn,

He watched with pleasure only He could know,

As from His fingertips long ribbons trailed
               
                      Of planets

                                  And of moons…
