everything

The nothing began to sparkle
and the nothing said divinity
and the divinity said light.

BANG!

And the void said infinity.
And the infinity said energy
and the energy said matter.
And the matter said stars.
Hydrogen, helium; so many atoms.
And on the 9 billionth day
the Divine said Here!

And a sun began engorging 
and the planets formed spheres.
And a long while later,
the Divine said life:
and the creatures said female!
And the female said wife.
And the female made male
and the two spawned children:
fish, invertebrates, reptiles - dinosaurs - HUMANS!

And the Humans said God
and God said Love.
But the humans weren’t sure
if their hearts were big enough.

So the spider said crawl
And the humans said shoes
And their voices said crush
And the spider’s blood oozed

And the Divine saw death
and the Divine’s heart sank
but the Divine saw love
and the Love was banked
so the Divine said forgive
And God’s heart bloomed

And the roses said careful
And the fruit said use
And the humans said multiply
And the Earth said tread light
and the darkness said always
but the sun said shine

And the humans’ hearts trembled 
somewhere in between love
and a feeling of fear, and hatred and
other things, but

the Divine said remember 
and the Ear said listen 
And the Mouth said speak 
But the Lips said glisten 
And the Lips said kiss
And the Arms said embrace
And the Legs said walk - never chase
And the Spine said strength 
And the Mind said wisdom
And the Heart said kindness
And the Blood said piston 
And the Feet said hold
And the Hands said yield

And the Children said play 
And the Father said field 
And the Children said tree
And the Father said build

And the Father said mother
And the Mother said trust
And the Trust said devotion
And Devotion said lust
and pride and envy - be careful of these.
Go with love, my child,
be light as the breeze.

And the Night said stars
and the Humans  said YES! 

And the Divine watched Everything

And Everything was blessed.
