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
