Genesis Update

(Picture Credit - PS Mag com)

In our Beginning God created this Universe.

It was during an Eterninfinity,

But old Moses didn’t go into that.

 

Now space was formless and empty,

Darkness reigned.

And God said

“Let there be matter”

And there was matter:

A singularity

Expanding faster and faster

To create material, movement and Time.

 

The early universe was a cloud

Of gas and dust

Enveloped in blackness.

So God said

“Let there be light”

And there was light

As the first star was born.

 

The universe expanded.

First generation stars

Made light elements

And later generations of stars

Produced heavier ones.

 

And the star we call The Sun

Was born

Mothering The Earth

Amongst other worlds.

The Earth:

A small ball of iron

And rock

Attended by a Moon.

 

The die was cast

Right at the start

The Formula was set

So Inevitably life appeared

Here on Earth

And here we are!

 

Evolution would not be possible

Without The Formula

Formed by God

Wherever S\he is.

 

Evolution is part of The Equation

I feel.

But what came before Genesis?

And how did God come to Be?

Does God have a God?

And that God his or her God?

For we just might be Lost

In a Multiverse

Within an Eterninfinity:

Courtesy of Lady Luck

And the roll of some Ethereal, Divine

Dice.

Poetry Football

(Picture Credit - Tes)

 

As a typer of what might be

Poetry

I am a football manager

With WORDS as my players.

 

Words in a Deep W Formation –

Total free verse

Hopefully forming a diamond.

No buses parked here

As my words go winging

Down the page.

 

Not quite five three two

But maybe the odd Haiku

In syllables of five seven five –

For there are far more than eleven syllables

In Poetry.

 

All writers are the same:

Our words combining

To make meaning,

Passing our visions

Views and feelings

For a crowd of readers

All being well.

 

Words to be chanted

By crowds enchanted –

Songs for a stadium

That is our united mind.
