... and God sighed

...and God Sighed
by Rev Micah G Hartung

I created a world with infinite colors divine, textures and temperatures flowed in a line.
I created the egg holding the tadpole of kind, and watched as a family matured as mine.
I created birds and watched them soar long, up into the heavens singing their cheerful song.
I created the mammals pressed to their mom, that  would remain for a period ere long.
I put  speed in the hooves of running deer, and stood in awe when they would appear.
I created the human who knew no fear and knew that all wonder soon would be near.

And God sighed...

My glaciers cut shapes in the land, forming ridges and valleys with a sweep of My hand.
Then rain for rivers upon the dry land, and oceans and seas moving in and out on the sand.
I created the flora and fauna that rooted abound, to hold the earth solid and create the ground.
I created the sun, moon and stars all around, so creation would know that rest could be found.
I married the creatures with the earth and sea, then I rested  to see what would come to be.
I saw creatures move and natures first bee, study  the ground and all that they could see.

And God sighed.....

The sun rose brightly on creations first day, and its brilliant light was what it displayed.
The colors of this creation illumined this day and were a bit of everything I brought into play.
I gazed at this creation as they looked to the sky, and waited to hear joy being sung in the reply
It was diversity I made and  bound with a tie, and their soul I saw, shining through their eye.
There was no song of praise in harmony or words of reverence about  the mystery of Me.
Instead they began to fight as it would be, power, property and creation you see.

And God sighed....

Some would say that in this confusion we flee, or its my Creation I should leave.
But how could I leave the very essence of me, a world I created and gave no reprieve.
Instead I gave to My children created above, a gift of value known as unconditional love.
Wisdom and knowledge sent by a dove, and a covenant in the rainbow reaching from above.
Some of Creation stand firm  in the light, illuminating peace and  kindness until it takes flight.
I am the God of  hope brought right, I am the light always present in the darkest of night.

And God Smiled and  Sighed...
