INVISIBLE HANDS (GENESIS 1)


















AND GOD STOOD UP
BRUSHED HIS INVISIBLE HANDS
LOOKED AT THE CREATION HE HAD MADE
WITH HIS STILL INVISIBLE HANDS

FELT PRIDE

SMILED

 LIGHT BEGAN

SMILED AGAIN

CLAPPED HIS INVISIBLE HANDS
THUNDER ROLLED
COMETS FLEW THROUGH THE SKY
WATER SURGED
BUT HE CALMLY FIXED THEIR LIMITS

WITH SUN CAME LIFE
FLORA AND FAUNA

WITH LIFE CAME CONCERN
FOR LIVING THINGS

I NEED A GARDENER
A CARETAKER
FOR MY CREATION

HE MADE A MAN
TASKED HIM WITH THE JOB

FROM THE BEGINNING
WE WERE BAD GARDENERS

UNGRATEFUL CHILDREN
WITH A COSTLY GIFT

WE ATE THE FRUIT
ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE
WAY BEYOND OUR NEEDS

WITH SIN NIGHT BEGAN

TRYING TO CATCH THE RISING SUN
WE MARCHED EAST OUT OF THE GARDEN
BUT THE SUN WOULD NOT STAY
BUT SWEPT OVER US

AS IF TO SAY
YOU WANTED NIGHT

ONCE THERE WAS NO NIGHT

EVERY TIME THE SUN PASSES OVER
IT SEEMS TO SAY

IT’S NOT TO LATE TO TEND THE GARDEN
TO RESTORE THE BEAUTY OF MY WORLD

THEN GOD SMILED AGAIN

I’LL SEND MY SON TO HELP THE GARDENER

THE DARKNESS COULD NOT COMPREHEND THIS
AND FLED TO SHADOW LAND

IN MY GARDEN
 THIEVES CANNOT BREAK IN
OR MOTH CONSUME
IF THE GARDENER IS VIGILANT

FOR MY PART
 I HOLD THE WORLD
IN MY INVISIBLE HANDS


FRANK A VOLLMER
