~Let There Be~

"LET THERE BE"

That's all that was said,
on each day of creation, and there was.

Each element, spoken into creation,
and it existed, it became.

Light, explosions, and even as
this business of creating happened,

the thought to generously

set eternity into the hearts
of men on earth occurred.

I try to fathom all this,

while cutting pictures from various places

and arranging them onto one picture

so I can see them all together -

the velocity, the immensity

of this universe in which I live.

A star explodes in the sky, the Crab Nebula,

and its remnants contain neutron stars -

the weight of which is so dense that
a piece just the size of a sugar cube

is compared to the weight of a mountain.

I cannot behold this

so I just imagine

and place all the pieces,

the crumbs that I've gathered.

It strikes me how much it all fits.

The pictures from the briny deep,

underwater creatures and fauna.

The ice, frozen, mirrors explosions,

and I cannot fathom the worlds

that microscopes would find in them.

The world is studied
through scopes
that help us

see closer

see farther

discover what is

inside and underneath.

I want to behold,

drink it all in,

my mind gazes in wonder

at the depths of all these things.

The resulting praise

leaves me in wonder

at this God

who created

the unimaginable

and who has

unfathomable love

for each human being.


Some of the elements included in this collage design are:  a photographed picture of the Crab Nebula, which is a supernova remnant, the remains of an exploded star.  There are pictures from a local artist, which are from a local magazine journal:  photos taken of "The Art Of Ice".  There are pictures of the "Briney Deep", also shared in the same local journal.  Together, they form a picture of the universe.  Similarities of the elements can be seen.  I am provided with a glimpse of the Creative Mastermind that God is.
