Works could be seen
Yet providing a protective shield to the eyes
And allowing warmth to pass through the atmosphere
While protecting all creatures from burning.
The Sun tended the spinning Earth by day and the moon by night.
Newly emerging gasses collided, separated and broke away
And recombined to form seas where life would flourish.
And gasses rising from the seas united with other elements to form air for breathing.
Moving land masses collided to make mountains rise from the seas
Hiding minerals beneath the great depths.
Then did God Bless the Earth planet and all planets yet to be born in the cosmos.
God Exists in all planets whose seas, atmosphere, and hills reflect God’s Heights and Depths.
Day 5. Proteins, dusts, sodium, zinc, ammonia, cesium, and cobalt drifted idly.
Then God Mixed these elements with ocean sprays and Whirled them in Mystic Broth.
Then Did God Make an ocean vent rise and warm the salty broth
Until the elements coalesced.
And then there was Life.
Bacteria. Cells.
Mitochondria! Messengers of God!
Then did God Create amino acids: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
Then did God Twist the helix of amino acids and Rearrange them in infinite patterns,
Bridging them with sugars and phosphates in spiraling ladders.
The emerging proteins became the endless fonts of life.
Mitochondria, attaching themselves to mothers’ generative cells,
Energized the helix.
Then did God’s Messengers Breathe life into the generative cells
And Gave each creature a sacred voice and a sacred cadence for all time.
And God Choreographed life on Earth
With crawling animals and walking animals;
There were fruit trees for fruit eaters;
There were nut trees for nut eaters;
Herbivores and carnivores; procreators and scavengers.
Parasites, epiphytes and symbionts.
Each absorbed God; each extended the Divine Genius of Creation.
Then there appeared all manner of flora:
Those to grow in the sea, those to grow in the air, those to grow on the land.
Those that flower, those that bring forth fruit; those that bear nuts.
Those that are eaten; those that are merely admired.
Those that complete their cycle in one season;
Those that survive for centuries.
Firs with needles; cacti with thorns; trees with leaves;
Each plant producing its own kind for all generations;
Each plant transmitting its seeds to carry on its species;
Each seed unfolding new and unique qualities;
Each seed mixing with others of the same species to build a new family.
New combinations of proteins brought forth all manner of fauna.
Insects that crawl and those that fly.
All manner of birds were brought forth.
Those that float; those that fly; and those that walk on land.
All manner fish were brought forth:
Those that swim and those that crawl on the sea bottom.
All manner of animals were brought forth:
Those living in caves; those living in trees; and those living in the wild.
Those that are fleet; those that are slow-footed.
Then did God Bless the plants and the animals
And all life bearing chromosomes for the next generation.
God’s Genius Exists in flora and fauna and they reflect God’s Living Infinite Presence.
Day 6. After Careful Meditation
God’s Genius Rearranged spiraling amino acids, phosphates and sugars.
Each new helical twist brought forth a different human family:
The tall, the short; the dark, the light; the narrow, the stout.
Each was Endowed with The Holy Spirit; each was Selected to protect Nature.
Each was Selected to discover order in and extend the unfolding worlds of Nature.
Each was Selected to bring order to the worlds of Nature.
Each was Selected with the intelligence to study Nature’s secrets.
Each was Fitted with the power to preserve and extend Creation.
Each was Fitted with the choice of conserving Nature or destroying it.
Within each human God Inscribed the Sacred Knowledge of Right and Wrong
To balance destructive, generative, and protective impulses.
To each new generation Was Revealed Nature known since antiquity;
To each new generation Was Revealed Nature unknown to its forbears.
Each human Was Given the power to reason, enhance, and intensify thought.
Each human Was Given power to construct and reflect.
Each human Was Given the sparks of Mercy and Forgiveness;
Each human Was Given the resolve to serve others through Sacred
Inspirations.
To God each human is holy; no one is more treasured than another.
Each is a scion of the Sacred Source.
